Your next volunteer isn’t going to just walk into the station. They’re going to Google you.
Recruitment is one of the biggest challenges facing rural volunteer fire departments today. Volunteers are the lifeblood of your department, but finding new ones isn’t as simple as it used to be. Fewer people are walking through the door to ask how they can help. Instead, they’re pulling out their phones and searching online.
That’s where your website matters.
Your department’s website is often the first impression for potential volunteers. It should clearly answer questions like:
- What does it mean to be a volunteer firefighter?
- Who can join?
- What’s the commitment?
- How do I apply?
If your site is outdated — or worse, missing entirely — you’re likely losing great people before you ever have a chance to talk to them.
VFD Websites helps volunteer fire departments put their best foot forward online. Our system makes it easy to add a recruitment page, showcase your members, and include a simple interest form that sends inquiries straight to your inbox.
Beyond recruitment, our platform also simplifies critical tasks like sharing important announcements, managing events, and keeping your community informed.
You’re proud of your department. Let’s make sure it shows, so when the next person Googles your department, they see a place they want to be part of.
