Become A Volunteer Firefighter

White Cross Fire Department is always seeking new members to join. The process is pretty simple.

There are two classes of member:

• The First class, you must live within 1 mile of the White Cross Fire District and be able to respond to the nearest station in a timely manner.
• The Second class is if you live greater than 1 mile from the district line, you must pull duty hours in the station. It requires 28 hours a month in a minimum of 3 hours blocks.

All volunteer members must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Have a North Carolina Driver Licenses or ID
• Consent to  criminal history and background check (the consent form is attached to the application packet.
• Have an acceptable driving record;
• Not be a convicted felon (we will review misdemeanors on case-by-case basis).
• Have a valid NC EMT certification or higher (if you are applying for Medical Responder).

It is recommend that you attended a few training sessions, so other members can meet you.

Meetings/Training are every other Monday night starting at 19:00 hours, except for holidays.
