| Dear Firefighter Applicant,
Thank you for taking an interest in becoming a volunteer firefighter. The position of firefighter is one of tremendous responsibility and individual dedication. Being a firefighter demands a great deal from each and every individual, therefore RVFD requires their members to be at least 18 years of age and live or work within a mile and a half of our district. Our department is held in the highest esteem. This is a progressive organization that maintains a high level of professionalism and expertise. Becoming a member of the firefighting team carries with it not only pride, but also carries a tremendous responsibility. This department is very proud of the men and women who are members of our organization. The individuals you will meet are highly motivated and committed to the betterment of their community. We constantly strive to enhance, upgrade and improve the level of fire protection and emergency services provided to our community. In doing this, our department constantly improves the capabilities of the organization and our personnel. RVFD accepts applications for new members all year, however member applications are voted on for membership in March and October to mirror yearly certification classes. Special consideration will be considered upon verifying required certifications. Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the fire department at 605- 393-0848. If you would like to become a volunteer, we look forward to discussing the position with you. If you have any questions please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
