Home MenuFire Department Volunteer Program
The Corona Fire Department provides service to our community by understanding the news of the community through a variety of outreach programs and using innovative methods to effectively meet those needs. One of those methods is the utilization of volunteers.
Volunteer work can be a challenging and rewarding experience and will provide you with the opportunity to meet many other dedicated people, both volunteer and paid, who selflessly serve the citizens of Corona. We take a great deal of pride in our service to the community, and volunteers assist us in providing this service. Every volunteer is an important member of the department and every hour contributed towards making the community a better place to live, is time well spent.

The Fire Chaplain Volunteer has a primary mission to assist first responders and their families by bringing comfort and consolation to all Fire Personnel in need, with particular emphasis on those confronted with fire, accidents, death, or natural/man-made disasters. Fire Chaplain Volunteers are responsible for supporting, encouraging, and guiding Fire Personnel and their families who seek help in these areas.
