The
Fire Corps promotes the use of citizen advocates to enhance the
capacity of resource-constrained fire and rescue departments at all levels:
volunteer, combination, and career. Citizen advocates can assist local fire
departments in a range of activities including fire safety outreach, youth programs,
and administrative support.
Fire Corps provides resources to assist fire and rescue departments in creating
opportunities for citizen advocates and promotes citizen participation. Fire
Corps is funded through DHS and is managed and implemented through a partnership
between the National Volunteer Fire Council, the International Association of
Fire Fighters, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs.
