Castleton Firefighters are essential to protecting the public safety in our community. They respond to a wide variety of fires including house fires, vehicle fires, and wild fires. Firefighters are trained at our expense and are provided the best equipment available to make their jobs as safe as possible. Members who become firefighters also typically receive training on vehicle extrication and various rope and technical rescue components.
Positions as firefighters are very flexible. Members are encouraged to volunteer as many hours as they are comfortable with no minimum hours required. All fire and rescue training is paid for entirely by the department including EMT, Firefighting, driver training, and any advanced level courses. The best thing about volunteer fire departments is that we do not require any level of prior experience and encourage members to become well educated in any area.
