We are a small group of men and women between fourteen and eighteen years of age who make a difference within our community and local fire department by working alongside our towns bravest volunteers, learning the skills necessary for the day when we serve as senior members of The Richmond Fire Department.
The Richmond Fire Department Junior Firefighters are hard at work responding to emergency calls; we work behind the scenes as the interior firefighters fight your biggest fear. We train as firefighting and truck operations, motor vehicle extrication, wilderness rescue and firefighting, fire ground rehabilitation, basic first aid, and CPR.
Several of our members have undertaken a higher level of training by enrolling in the New York State Certified First Responder course. First Responders provide a critical role in pre hospital patient care by being the first trained personnel to assess and treat those subject to illness and injury, CFR's are trained just under the levels of EMT's. In a way you could say we are some of Richmond’s bravest young men and women and take pride in serving our community.
