Nominate Fire Corps Volunteers for the Daily Points of Light Award

The Points of Light Institute is a nonprofit organization that promotes and supports civic engagement and volunteerism. The Daily Points of Light Award recognizes individual volunteers and groups that help to address the critical challenges facing their community. The award was established by former President George H.W. Bush and is awarded every weekday to a volunteer or group that participates in an activity that meets a community need and works toward achieving long-term solutions.

Fire Corps is a locally-driven program that enables community members to offer their time and talents to their local fire/EMS department in a non-emergency role.

Fire Corps members support fire and EMS departments by performing non-emergency tasks, enabling department members to focus on emergency response and training.  There are many ways community members can contribute to their local department, including, but not limited to:

  • Fire prevention and safety education
  • Rehab or canteen services
  • Fundraising
  • Data Entry
  • Bookkeeping
  • Administrative functions
  • Public Relations
  • Preplanning and research
  • Apparatus and facility maintenance
  • Bilingual assistance
