At Columbia River Fire & Rescue, both our career staff and volunteers proudly serve with professionalism, dedication, and a shared commitment to protecting our community. Our volunteers are not just observers—they are combat volunteers who respond to real emergencies, working side by side with career firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics.

As volunteers, we are neighbors helping neighbors—committed to protecting lives, property, and the environment. We come from diverse backgrounds but share a common purpose: to serve with courage, compassion, and integrity.

You’ll receive top-notch fire and rescue training, gain hands-on experience in real emergency situations, and become part of a close-knit team that values integrity, teamwork, and service. We also offer opportunities to help with the cost of education for those looking to further their careers.

Whether you’re interested in giving back to your community, gaining valuable skills, or exploring a future in emergency services, volunteering with us is a rewarding way to make a difference, while being part of a team that values integrity, respect, and the satisfaction that comes from making a real difference.
