1 Volunteers Program Description Fund 10 Directorate 05 Division 65 Department 300 There are three roles in the District s Volunteer Program: Auxiliary, Responder, and Volunteer Firefighter. Auxiliary Volunteers provide assistance to the District in the form of administrative support for the various departments, or assist in the maintenance and coordination of the District s antique apparatus. Volunteer Responders provide support functions on emergency scenes such as rehabilitation and air management. Volunteer Firefighters respond in conjunction with first due companies. Volunteers also participate in the various community events that occur within TVF&R s service area. Volunteers receive orientation training when they join the District and receive continuous training through Tuesday night drills and various weekend opportunities. Responders are assigned to Stations 33 (Sherwood) and 50 (Walnut) which are collocated with career personnel, and Volunteer Firefighters are assigned to standalone Station 372 in the Skyline area. With the addition of Washington County Fire District #2 and the Newberg Fire Department into District operations, Volunteer Firefighters will also be assigned to Stations 17, 19, 20 and 21 operating several pieces of firefighting equipment. Because of the fluid nature of a Volunteer Program and because many of the District s Volunteers are in training to be hired as career firefighters, there is typically a fluctuation in the number of Volunteers in the program, ranging between 80 and 100.
