District Information: Former Members
 
So you think you want a career in the fire service. Well, consider starting at Fire District 5.

Several years ago, the administration at District 5 made a conscious decision to design our programs to focus on those individuals that were looking to make emergency services their career. At the time, the role of the volunteer was rapidly changing. Our philosophy was to concentrate our efforts and resources on those career-minded individuals. We felt that because of their focus, we would get 3-5 very productive and quality years of service from them, and they in turn would get all the assistance from District 5 that they needed to secure a position in emergency services. Well, the philosophy paid off for all parties and is evidenced by the following list of past District 5 volunteer and resident firefighters.
