The Orange County Fire Department is seeking volunteers for the department’s Hand Crew Force. Composed of 10 to 15 volunteers, the crews assist firefighters at structure and brush fires, floods and other emergencies. Some of the duties include clearing undergrowth around brush or structure fires and filling and laying sandbags to protect property during floods.
Volunteers will be paid for responding to emergency calls, and are not full-time employees of the department. Crew members attend weekly training sessions and must be available to respond to emergencies. Volunteers must live no more than 20 minutes from the Crew 50 station, 495 The City Drive in Orange.
For information, contact Chief Mike McCann at the Orange County Fire Department, (714) 744-0545.
