Why FireDepartment.net is back
FireDepartment.net ran for 13 years. Before it closed in 2023, more than 8,000 fire departments had signed up and the site drew millions of visitors a year for over a decade. Then Google changed its rankings so that sites with a lot of out-of-date information lost most of their traffic, and ours fell to roughly a quarter to a third of what it had been within a month.
The lesson was that accuracy matters more than size. This time every listing is dated and sourced, and recruitment is built around departments that are actively looking for volunteers.
Organizations that support volunteer recruitment
Fire chiefs associations, firefighters associations, state agencies and businesses can fund recruitment for a city, a county or a whole state.
