Thank you for your interest in joining the Putnam Valley Volunteer Fire Department. All individuals are welcome in our organization and we place no limits on religion, race or creed. A willingness to commit time, is the only requirement for our membership. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) mandates that we place limits on those who can participate as an active interior attack firefighter, but jobs are available to all regardless of age, work schedule, physical condition or other limitations. A willingness to commit time is the only requirement for membership. Most Fire Department functions are Tuesday nights from 7:30 to 9:30. Again, thank you for your interest.
