Volunteer fire departments across the state will open their doors next weekend to let the public know what it takes to become a volunteer firefighter.
RecruitNY, established in 2011 by a collaborative of state firefighter organizations, is an annual campaign to recruit new volunteers to join those already serving their communities.
Highlighting the campaign is Open House Weekend, scheduled for April 26 and 27. Local departments will conduct tours, demonstrate equipment and discuss volunteer opportunities; numerous departments throughout Western New York have signed up to participate.
Last year, more than 700 new volunteers joined firefighting forces in Erie County. For more information – including a list of participating departments, visit www.recruitny.org.
