Our Junior Firefighter program is designed for high school students, ages 14-17, who are self-motivated and looking to pursue a career or volunteer opportunity in firefighting, emergency medicine, or rescue services. When accepted as a Junior Firefighter, EVFD will provide the student with all neccessary training for CPR and Firefighting certification.

The mission of this program is to foster a greater understanding of the fire service and provide hands-on learning related to emergency services. Junior Firefighters will participate in weekly drills, department trainings, and monthly meetings. Each member will receive personal protective gear and a station mentor, who will guide them through orientation and the greater onboarding process. Junior Firefighters can complete their Interior Firefighter certification at age 17, and those in good standing will transition to probationary member status with EVFD at age 18.
