APPLICATIONS OPEN! 

We are looking for dedicated community members, who are willing to give back to the Apex community in Volunteer Paid-On-Call positions.

Together, our firefighters share a selfless commitment to being there – ready to serve – when a crisis occurs. This isn’t a decision to take lightly. It takes training, hard work and courage. Volunteering requires you to devote your time to learning and maintaining skills.

-Structural, vehicle, and wildland firefighting 
-First responder medical calls 
-Rescue 
-Motor vehicle incident and extrication  

It’s your chance to get involved!  All the training is provided and once complete, you will be prepared to support, or respond as part of the Apex community’s first line of defense in crisis.
