Brevard County Fire Rescue Reservists

Reservists

Brevard County Fire Rescue fire operations are supplemented by our fire reservist program. Fire reservists are unpaid members of the department and serve alongside our career personnel on a variety of emergency calls including structure fires, brush fires, vehicle accidents, etc. Reservists can choose to ride at any one of BCFR's 31 stations. On a regular basis, reservists also provide stand-by coverage at special events throughout the county.

To be considered for the Reservist Program, applicants must meet the following:

• Must be 18 years of age
• Have a minimum of Florida Firefighter One Certificate of Competency
• Hold either an EMT or Paramedic certificate from the State of Florida Department of Health
• Have a clean driving record
• Complete and pass a department required physical and background check
• Attend an application/orientation meeting (held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month)

Those holding only an EMS certification will be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on available positions within the program.  All members go through a probationary period and are held to high standards through training and performance.

Reservists will be required to attend regular meetings and training sessions in order to remain in good standing.
