To be an active member on two fire departments at one time? I am currently a volunteer ff/ems responder in my county which is 3 hours away from college and I go home every 2 weeks. Just curious as if I could join the local department and still be on my home department also?

Well, if it helps answer your question, my old room mate was full time at one city department and part time with another.

Possible? Yes.


ETA: Instead of asking here, I would suggest asking the affected departments. How the hell would we know?

Fantastic that is great to hear! I just wasn't sure how exactly that would workout. Much appreciated everyone.

It depends.



In a previous life I was a volunteer and a seasonal firefighter.  Then the rules changed and I was no longer allowed to be a volunteer if I was paid elsewhere. Then I was hired full time with a municipal department who allowed me to also volunteer with the county fire dept.  But they changed their rules and...you get my drift, right?

Yeah I do. Well the thing is both departments are small and rural so I figure each pry has less that 10 total people. On a good day 7 will respond. So thats roughly 3 trucks out. But more like 4 volunteer and 2 trucks.
