Want to become a Firefighter?

The Washburn Fire Department relies on a diverse array of highly trained community members to respond to emergency calls for assistance in and around our response area. Members commit to attending one training meeting and one work session per month.  

We invite individuals who are age 18 and older and who live in the Washburn Fire Department response area to visit our station to learn more about the rewards of becoming a firefighter in our community. There is no previous experience or training necessary to join.  

To set up a meeting to learn more, contact the Fire Chief or an Assistant Fire Chief.
