On behalf of the County of Brant Fire Department, thank you for taking the time to consider a volunteer position with our department.

Join our team!
The Fire Department team is dedicated to reducing loss of life and property due to fires and emergencies in our community. Through education, prevention, training, suppression activities and by providing emergency aid and rescue services, we work together to accomplish our mission.
Volunteer firefighting is a truly rewarding way to give back to the community.
We recruit volunteer firefighters to join our team through a thorough screening process. This process includes a written aptitude test, group one-way interview, physical and mental abilities screening test, individual interview and reference checks.
Once a candidate is accepted into the fire department, they must pass a Recruit Training Program, then serve as a probationary firefighter for 1 year. After achieving several milestones during the first year, a probationary firefighter may be accepted as a full member.
Firefighters are expected to attend training nights, stay up-to-date and advance their knowledge continually.
