Please consider joining the
Lowry Crossing Volunteer Fire Department !
The Lowry
Crossing Fire Department
is a 100% volunteer organization that is always looking for
people who are willing to donate their time to help out
their community. We respond to fires, vehicle accidents and
medical emergencies. If you are considering joining, please
feel free to give us a call so we can show you around the
station and explain what we do.
People who are able to respond during the daytime and people
with ECA or EMT medical training are of particular value to
the department.
Why
Volunteer?
Gain a sense of achievement and know the reward of helping
to bring an emergency situation under control. Learn the
skills necessary to protect yourself and your family in an
emergency situation and become a member of a community
action team. Your fire department is willing to train you
for firefighting, emergency first aid, apparatus operation
and more. All equipment and training will be provided at no
cost to you.
Requirements:
You must be at least 18 years of age, have a valid driver’s
license and be able to pass a background check. You must be
available to attend monthly meetings, training sessions and
other department activities. A CPR and basic first aid class
will have to be completed, and at some point, you will need
to attend the McKinney CCCC fire academy to obtain the 72
hours of firefighting training required to fight live fires.
Additional training is also available at no cost to the
member.
If you are
a committed individual and interested in becoming a part of
our team,
please contact Joel Schmieg at (972) 548-7163.
Thanks for wanting to help your community !
