VOLUNTEERING WITH RLFR

Red Lodge Fire Rescue

We are a combination volunteer and career fire department that serves the communities of Red Lodge, Bearcreek, Luther, and surrounding areas in Carbon County, Montana. We provide a wide variety of quality, comprehensive emergency services not often found in communities our size.

 

Red Lodge Fire Rescue has opportunities to volunteer in the Fire,  Emergency Medical Service (EMS), Search and Rescue (SAR) and  Support Divisions. No prior emergency services experience is necessary, we can train you!

 

Being a volunteer member of Fire, SAR or EMS is demanding work for both members and their families, but our members find it worth it.

You will be a part of something bigger; a vital and respected organization filled with like-minded people from all walks of life.
