I just moved to Columbus, Ohio from Loudoun County Virginia. I have been volunteering in VA for almost the past 3 years, first as an EMT and then went through fire school and got my FFI/II certs last fall. I absolutely fell in love with volunteering and the fire department-it was the biggest reason why I considered not moving to Ohio, but couldn't turn the job down. Problem now, is I can't find a place to volunteer out here. I'm wondering if anyone from the area knows of some place that has volunteers. I asked a FF from my township, but I was told Delaware County (my county) is all paid. Can anyone help? I will be heartbroken if I can continue with my fire/rescue volunteering!
Hey Rick just to let you know not all of Ohio is paid. I am on a paid on call volunteer dept, but we have several dept. in the area that are true vol. dept that dont get paid for there time.
