Your community needs your help. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program trains volunteers to assist their communities when a disastrous event overwhelms or delays the community’s professional response. Become a member by visiting the CERT Program Page.

The Salem Fire Department has a ride-along program. If you are thinking of becoming a firefighter, a ride-along is a great way to see what the job of a firefighter is all about.

You will need to submit a ride-along application, pass a background check and complete patient privacy training.  For more information, visit the Ride-Along Application Page.
