What comes next

While joining the McGregor Volunteer Fire Department is an easy process, being a firefighter demands  dedication and training. We hold training sessions every Tuesday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. We recognize that your family and job take precedence, but we expect the fire department to be a high priority as well. Members are required to participate in at least 60% of our training events. Life can be unpredictable, and we understand that absences happen; however, consistent training is vital for effectively handling the diverse situations we encounter. It takes time and commitment to be an integral part of our team.

Training

Our training sessions occur every Tuesday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. We prepare for a variety of scenarios, including structure fires, vehicle accidents, hazardous material incidents, and water rescues, among others. It’s impossible to list every situation we may face, as new challenges constantly arise, and we must be ready to adapt and respond effectively.
Training is crucial not only for your safety during various calls but also to ensure the well-being of the community we serve.

Still interested?

If you're eager to learn more about us, we invite you to visit on Tuesday evenings at either Station 1 (302 S Madison) or Station 2 (1701 Bluebonnet Parkway) starting at 7:00 p.m. Feel free to stop by, say hello, and express your interest in joining us. You can print the application using the "Click for Membership Application" button, or we can provide one for you when you visit.
