Do Volunteers Get Paid?
Yes, volunteers are paid a flat fee (stipend) for all training drills, and calls.
When do I go on calls?
Once the Department Officers have approved you to respond, you will sign up for duty shifts with seasoned personnel and be issued a
radio that will alert you of a call. You are not expected to leave your regular place of employment to respond to calls without your
employer’s approval.
How often do calls occur?
Calls vary greatly; we may have several calls a day, or we may go several weeks without a call. We responded to 197 calls in 2009.
What other things does the Fire Department do besides respond to fire and emergency medical calls?
Clallam County Fire District #5 is very involved in the community. We provide Disaster Mitigation and Response Planning, Pre-Fire
Planning, and routinely provide EMS standby at school sporting events and have several active Public Education programs. Our EMS
program provides CPR and First Aid training and our Fire Prevention program provides fire safety information at many community
events and within the Cape Flattery School District. Many of these non-emergency activities would not be possible without the support
of our volunteers. As a Volunteer, you will be encouraged to participate in these activities.
Application Process
Applications can be obtained at the Clallam County Fire District #5 Headquarters Station located at
60 Eagle Crest Way, Clallam Bay, WA. Applications are accepted at any time and will be maintained on file for a period of one year.
Anyone who withholds or gives false application information, or fails any portion of the candidate testing process, will not be accepted.
Candidate Testing Process
Our Candidate testing process consists of a Physical Medical Examination (provided at the Clallam Bay Clinic at Department cost), a
driving history review, criminal history background check, and an oral interview.
