Volunteer Firefighter Recruit/Sponsorship Program
Leland Fire/Rescue will begin its Volunteer Firefighter Recruit/Sponsorship Program in July 2022. We will serve as the sponsoring department for individuals desiring to go through the Fire Academy at Cape Fear Community College.
The academy is a comprehensive program that includes Firefighting I & II, Haz-Mat, Basic EMT, Emergency Vehicle Driving, Mayday/Safety and Survival Skills, and other vital information necessary for future firefighters. The academy runs twice a year, and our department will sponsor two individuals during each session.
Candidates will be selected after a process that includes an online application, panel interview, background and reference check, drug test, and candidate physical agility test. After successful completion of the fire academy, candidates will be required to volunteer for six months with Leland Fire/Rescue.
