RESERVE FIREFIGHTER
PROGRAM
Southwest Adams County Fire
Rescue originated as an all volunteer department and to date, continues this
longstanding tradition. While the face of volunteer firefighting has
changed with the challenges of added work and family constraints, SWAC continues
to provide opportunities for reserve firefighters.
Reserve firefighters are required to work 48 hours per month. This often consists of four 12 hour shifts but can extend to 24 hours shifts if desired. Volunteers must have Colorado Firefighter I and HazMat Ops certifications to be considered. EMT-Basic is recommended as well.
In addition, the
department offers Firefighter Academies from time to time for a fee. The
program is typically three days per week (two evenings and one weekend day) and
prepares the candidate to test for Firefighter I and HazMat Operations.
From this academy, candidates may be selected for entry into the department's
reserve program. This is usually based on current reserve staffing levels,
as well as the attributes of the candidate.
Upcoming academies will be announced on the website or inquiries can be made to
the training officer,
Lieutenant Mike Tavalez.
