The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
The Marion County Fire District No. 1 has a number of open volunteer positions it’s looking to fill.
The agency serves unincorporated east Salem from Highway 22 to Waconda Road as well as north Keizer and Clear Lake. Positions are open for volunteer firefighters, emergency medical technicians, operations support and public fire education, according to a news release.
District volunteers receive benefits including college tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 per year, $480 annual cell phone reimbursement, a $250 quarterly stipend, $30,000 in life insurance, $15,000 accidental death and dismemberment insurance, uniforms, personal protective clothing, Capital FireMed ambulance insurance and an employee assistance plan.
Some volunteers attending college can also live full-time in the fire stations without paying rent.
“District officials report that volunteering has some of the highest job satisfaction ratings of any profession and can often lead to new fulltime careers in the fire service,” the district’s statement said.
It is a special district, an independent agency separate from any city, county or state government.
The district asked people ages 18 to 55 who are interested to apply online, by email at [email protected] or by calling 503-588-6526 and asking for the volunteer coordinator.
