Why are Volunteer Firefighters needed?
During large or extended emergencies, additional trained firefighters are needed to assist with calls, cover fire stations, and support the professional firefighters. Kentfield Fire Protection District has a long, proud tradition of Volunteer Firefighters. The Volunteer Firefighters represent a large part of our organization. They are our second line of defense by responding to emergencies that occur in our community and supporting the full-time staff. Our Volunteer Firefighters donate their time, train to a high standard and participate in all aspects of Department functions.
