Why Volunteer? Why South Line?

More Than …

South Line is more than a fire department. South Line is a Brotherhood/Sisterhood. South Line is a family. Just like when the public calls 911 for help; South Line shows up time after time. When a member calls another member for help; South Line shows up and shows out; every time. With a diverse group of people specializing in all facets of life, we are not only here for our community, we are here for each other.

 

State of the Art Fleet / Equipment

Our members, day in and day out, provide the best level of service possible to our residents within our first due district and surrounding areas. To provide the best service, you need the best equipment. South Line takes pride in our apparatus and equipment and ensure every day it is in the best condition possible because that is what our residents deserve and expect.

Progressive EMS Program

If nothing else, South Line is known for our EMS program! As an Advanced Life Support Program, with over 25 Advanced Providers and 25 EMT’s, we take pride in staffing our 2 ambulances and ALS fly car! If EMS peaks your interest, look no further! South Line has the latest technology and equipment to take your EMS career wherever you please. We also run over 1,000 EMS runs a year, so you won’t lack gaining valuable in the field experience either!

 

Answer the Alarm

South Line members answer the alarm over 1,250 times a year. Within those 1,250 alarms, there are a wide range of challenges. From structure fires, to cardiac arrests, to helping an elderly person up off the ground. You never know what the next alarm will be, and you know what? That’s the exciting part! Are you up for the challenge? Does helping your community while doing some pretty cool things excite you? Keep reading to see what else South Line has to offer!

 

Be Social. Have Fun.

Throughout the year, South Line hosts a wide variety of outings for their members! From our annual Installation of Officers dinner, to a night out at the Bison’s game, to a night out on the Nation’s oldest fireboat, to personal and family parties. Being a member of South Line is so much more than just answering the call. Being a member of South Line offers the opportunity to grow relationships, confidence, and interpersonal skills!

State of the Art Fitness Facility

Firefighting and EMS are demanding jobs. With that comes physical demands. Here at South Line, we encourage physical fitness. So much so, our leadership dedicated a sizeable space to a full service fitness facility open 24/7 to ensure our members are at their peak physical performance at all times! With all our fitness facility has to offer, just remember, don’t skip leg day. 🙂

 

We Lead From the Front

Our leadership recognizes what our most valuable asset is. YOU! South Line is an organization you can join and make a difference in, on day one! Every member of our Department brings their own skill set and life experience to the table. We LOVE our diverse group we have at South Line and welcome YOU to bring your skill set and life experience and help enhance our program even further! As a member of South Line, you will be joining one of the most progressive and forward thinking departments in the area.
