Administrative members are a key part of the fire and rescue team in Fairfax County. They participate in the business and administrative operations of the departments, as well as providing indirect support in emergency situations and prevention activities. These roles include fundraising, station and equipment management, department leadership, community relations, fire prevention, health screening, and recruiting. Administrative members also staff canteen units during emergencies, which provide the refreshments and shelter emergency providers need during extended emergency situations.

Administrative membership is an excellent opportunity for individuals who want to be part of the team and serve their community in an administrative capacity. It is also a great option for those who might one day like to become operational members but are currently unable. All 12 departments are currently accepting applications for administrative members, so contact the recruiting division at one of the 12 volunteer departments for more information or click here to request information.
