First Responder Emergency Response Team

🚨 Join Our Emergency Response Volunteer Team

Supporting Fire & Police Departments When It Matters Most

When a structure fire breaks out…
When a hostage situation unfolds…
When responders are committed to long, exhausting assignments…
When disaster strikes without warning…

Canteen 33 and the First Responders Foundation step in to support the crews on the front lines — and we’re looking for dedicated volunteers who want to make a real impact.

Our volunteers deploy directly to local fire and police departments during:

  • Structure fires

  • Extended operations and long-duration calls

  • Hostage or critical incident responses

  • Major emergencies and community disasters

You’ll help deliver essential on-scene support — from hydration and rehab services to comfort, logistics, and relief for exhausted responders.


Who We’re Looking For

We welcome anyone with a heart for service, but we especially encourage retired firefighters, law enforcement officers, and EMS professionals to apply.

Ideal volunteers are:

  • NIMS 100, 200, and 700 trained, OR willing to complete training within their first 90 days of volunteering

  • Comfortable responding to emergency scenes

  • Reliable, calm under pressure, and committed to serving the community

  • Ready to support our mission of protecting the ones who protect us


Why Volunteer With Us?

  • Make a direct impact on firefighter and officer wellness

  • Stay connected to the brotherhood and sisterhood of the job

  • Put your real-world experience to work in moments that matter

  • Help strengthen community resilience

  • Join a mission-driven organization built by first responders, for first responders


Ready to Step Back Into the Service — in a New Way?

You can help us bring relief, stability, and support when our local heroes need it most.

👉 Apply today and join the First Responders Foundation Emergency Response Team.
