Fire Firefighters Need a Place to Train |

Orange Rural Fire Department provides fire and rescue services to the citizens of the Central Orange Fire District and the Town of Hillsborough. Candidates interested in to becoming firefighters have to meet national training standards. Currently certified firefighters have to meet on going training requirements in order to remain certified and to keep up the the ever changing environment for which they work. In order to meet the training needs, all of our firefighters have to leave the fire district. Sending firefighters out of district for training creates a financial hardship on the department in that fire district coverage must be maintained, regardless of the training need. Our entire community benefits from having well trained and prepared firefighters when disaster strikes and we need the community's help to make sure we have them. |
