Junior Program

The Junior Firefighter Program is a training curriculum instituted by the Goldendale Volunteer Fire Department for young men and women, aged 16-18, interested in serving their community and preparing to become active Firefighters upon reaching the age of 18. At age 18, the Junior Firefighter is eligible to attend the Firefighter course to become a full member of the Goldendale Fire Department.

Due to the inherent dangers of firefighting, strict rules of conduct and tight procedural standards are established. In an actual emergency, it is essential that all Firefighters, including Junior Firefighters, act in a calm and efficient manner. The Junior Firefighters are expected to attend training drills to be prepared for the many challenges presented in an emergency situation.
