Volunteer With SVFD

The Sherman Volunteer Fire Department has many opportunities for individuals to volunteer their time and talent. An important thing to remember is that there is a lot more to the fire department that just waking up at 3:00 in the morning and fighting fires. The department is always in need of individuals to help out with the operation and maintenance of the fire house as well as fundraising and administrative tasks in addition to firefighting and EMS personnel.
