Application Process

There are three types of memberships: active, supportive, and “junior” (ages 16-18) within the Department.

You can pick up an application at the station anytime personnel are present. Completed applications may be dropped off at the station any time personnel are present.

Once the forms are submitted and reviewed, you will be contacted by a Membership committee member and scheduled for an interview and the station membership will vote on your application.

All new persons enter the Little Fork Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company as probationary members. The probationary status shall last a minimum of six months, after which, the member’s performance is reviewed.

We are one of the few volunteer companies in the Commonwealth that require certification and are proud of our endeavor to provide trained, certified personnel to respond to all emergencies. Interested active volunteers should contact us in advance to arrange for the required training. Little Fork Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company pays the costs of all volunteer training.
