Are you a new EMT looking to gain fire experience? Are you in the fire academy and want to hone the skills you are currently learning? The Daggett Fire Department can help you get there.

Daggett Fire was recently granted funds to provide our volunteers with fuel reimbursement. This is a great benefit for those serving our community.

Either party may terminate the volunteer position at any time without cause or merit. Volunteer Firefighters serve at the will of Daggett Community Services District & Daggett Fire Department. The fuel reimbursement program may end at any time and volunteers will not receive any financial assistance for their volunteer time with Daggett Fire Department.
