Download or read book Community Perceptions of Volunteering at Local Volunteer Fire Departments written by Christine M. Trexler and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The steady decline of volunteer firefighters across the United States is becoming problematic. The lack of adequate volunteer firefighters compromises the effective service given to the community as well as the safety of the firefighters. The purpose of this qualitative embedded single case study was to explore community member perceptions of social and economic motivational factors about firefighter participation. The sample was composed of 10 non-volunteer community members, 10 current volunteer firefighters, and 10 previous volunteer firefighters. Analysis of the data was performed to assess community members’ perception to volunteer or not volunteer as a volunteer firefighter. The findings demonstrated many of the non-volunteer community members perceptions supported the need to educate the community on the needs of a volunteer fire department, the need to effectively retain those currently involved and to evaluate internal governance. Recommendations for practice were for rural volunteer fire companies to develop a strategic marketing plan built upon the platform of educating community members, actively supporting and maintaining current volunteers. Recommendations for future research included a study about on motivation of high-risk volunteering specifically in the fire service area.

Download or read book Managing Risk in the Volunteer Fire Service written by Joe Nedder and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk management is one of the most important but frequently ignored fireground management skills. The volunteer fire service is particularly vulnerable because of a lack of understanding and training in a risk management system, why we need it, how it works, and how to use it. What are some risk reduction strategies? How do you identify risks and dangers and how they affect firefighters? How do you control those risks and limit danger to firefighters? How often have firefighters taken unnecessary risks? Firefighting is a dangerous job, but risks need to be measured against the capabilities of the responding firefighters. Do their capabilities match the immediate needs of the size-up? What about your personal capabilities? Are you truly prepared? "Joe Nedder knows risk, safety, and firefighting and brings clarity to often diametrically opposing objectives. Joe writes with clarity and insight gained from real-world experience and skin in the game. Managing Risk in the Volunteer Fire Department is a must-read for every firefighter, career or volunteer!" —Chief Bobby Halton, editorial director, Clarion Fire Rescue Group, and educational director, FDIC International "Everything you want to know about managing risk in your volunteer department is here in this new book by Joe Nedder, who dedicated his fire service career to providing better training for volunteer fire departments. He understands the specialized needs of departments big and small and tailors his teaching to encompass departments across North America." —Diane Rothschild, executive editor, Fire Engineering, and conference director, FDIC International

Download or read book Volunteer Fire Service Diversity in a Diverse Community written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research paper was done to evaluate the lack of ethnic diversity within the volunteer membership at the Basalt & Rural Fire Protection District (BRFPD). The problem is that the BRFPD has not identified ways to improve the diversity of the volunteer membership to be reflective of the community demographics. The purpose of the paper was to identify ways the organization can be more effective in recruiting volunteers from the underrepresented populations of the community. The research questions were (a) identifying the current ethnic make-up of the organization and the community, (b) examine what other volunteer fire service organizations are doing to increase ethnic diversity, (c) examine what the BRFPD is doing to increase ethnic diversity, and (d) identify models that exist that are aimed at ethnic minority recruitment. The research method was descriptive. Data was gathered through surveys of the volunteer members, local fire departments, and departments across the country as to the depth of the problem and probable solutions. These surveys yielded information suggestive of a fire service wide problem when considering the involvement of minorities in the volunteer fire service. It is the recommendation, based on this data, that the BRFPD and other volunteer fire service organizations develop ways to (a) integrate with ethnic minorities in their communities, (b) communicate with those minorities, and then (c) develop a recruitment campaign that would center on the cultural aspects of that minority.
