The National Volunteer Fire Council and Spartan Motors have teamed to create the National Junior Firefighter Program. This program will allow young people the opportunity to learn about their local fire, rescue and EMS organization in a safe, controlled, educational and fun environment. It also provides an invaluable recruitment pipeline to departments and positive social interaction for youth within the program and the community.

One component of the National Junior Firefighter Program is an online resource that prospective junior firefighters can use to locate a local program. If your department already has a junior firefighter program in place and you would like to have that program added to the national listing, contact Kimberly Ettinger with the following information:

• Department name and address.
• Name, phone number and e-mail address for the program's contact.
• Any additional information about the current program.
