Genesee Fire Rescue relies on dedicated volunteer firefighters to serve our community.
Most of the members have full time jobs and families in addition to their volunteer activities with the fire department. It is not just fun; it is a calling to serve the GFPD community.
Are you up for the challenge? GFR is looking for people that live or work near Genesee that are willing to make a commitment. You don’t need experience; all you need is a desire to learn, good physical conditioning, and the support of your family.
