Traditional Volunteers

"Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have inside of them; a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have lasting stamina; they have to have skill and the will.  But the will must be stronger than the skill." Muhammad Ali

Volunteering is giving of yourself and your time to others needs. Is there a champion in you?

Commitment Required from All Volunteers

bullet To remain in good standing, each volunteer must attend a minimum of 50% of the drills and respond to 20% of the calls.

Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue maintains six volunteer fire stations with a dedicated force of over 100 volunteers. C2FR covers approximately 170 square miles and is located in and around the cities of Kelso and Longview, Washington, between the cities of Castle Rock and Kalama on the I-5 corridor. Volunteers are assigned to a station depending on where they live. Drill nights are Wednesdays from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. As space is available, ride time is possible on these nights until you are cleared to respond with your station. Until you are notified that you are covered by our insurance, there is to be NO participation in drills, etc.

With all entry level paperwork complete, recruit academy successfully completed, First Responder and EMT certifications in order, name badge identification given out, clothing and bunker gear issued; the volunteer will then be directed to report to their assigned stations. The Station Captain or designee must sign off a proficiency checklist. At this time, it will be the discretion of the Station Captain or designee as to when the volunteer will begin responding.
