If you are at least 18 years of age and out of high school, of sound mind and body, and a resident of the Town of Somerset with a valid driver's license, you are eligible to join. Remember, there's no experience required since we will train you! Niagara County Community College even offers FREE tuition to anyone who agrees to commit at least 5 years in a volunteer fire service. Also, starting in 2007, New York State is offering a $200 income tax credit to any volunteer fire fighter. Please consider joining, your community depends on it! Call Chief Jeff Dewert or stop at the Fire Hall any Thursday night between 7PM and 9PM if you are interested. |
