Get on the truck!
VOLUNTEER TODAY - Getonthetruck.org
It's likely that the average person in your community doesn't know that volunteers are indeed providing their emergency fire services. Volunteer firefighters influence outcomes that directly affect people's lives by responding at a moment's notice, whether it's day for night, to put that fire out, to rescue that person in harm's way, or sometimes just to give the assurance that, in fact, nothing is wrong.
in 75% of the communities in this country, volunteers provide the only organized force to do this work. These volunteers are normal, everyday people just like you!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in their shoes?
We are hoping that you might. Volunteers are needed in our area in order to continue our mission. Most people may not realize that nationwide, over the last 10 years, the ranks of our volunteer firefighters has declined by over 100,000! During the same 10 year period the workload has practically doubled. The fire departments in the Woodland Hills area are not immune from this national trend.
The "get on the truck" campain was created by the fire departments located within the borders of the Woodland Hills school district to recruit new volunteers.

Woodland Hills Volunteer Fire Departments
Welcome to www.getonthetruck.org - the official recruitment website of the Woodland Hills Volunteer Fire Departments. The Woodland Hills Volunteer Fire Departments consist of all of the volunteer fire departments within the borders of the Woodland Hills school district in southwestern Pennsylvania, just east of the City of Pittsburgh.
The 15 departments making up the Woodland Hills area provide fire protection for 12 communities covering over 13 square miles and proudly protect a resident population of over 50,000.
Why should you consider becoming a volunteer firefighter?
Volunteering allows us to give something back to our communities. Today, there are so many demands on our time, and firefighting requires specialized training in addition to the presence of a warm body. There are probably many reasons not to volunteer. However, if you have a sense of civic pride, if you want to see immediate results of a job well done, if you have the heart and spirit to make your community a better place, consider volunteering with your local fire department. You may find meaning previously lacking in your work and your life, and you may find a career.
