The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
- Elie Wiesel

Our volunteers can select and reserve their shifts via internet and are asked to work 36 hours per month. Available shifts are 12 or 24 hours. Uniforms and training are provided. Six Forks EMS currently compensates volunteer EMT-2nd riders $25 per 12 hr shift to help defer meal costs and other expenses.

As a new volunteer, you begin by working with the existing ambulance crew as a third rider. During this time you will  completes several comprehensive phases of training.  Pending final SFEMS supervisor approval and possessing current NC EMT-B or (higher) certification you will graduate to EMT- 2nd rider status. Our 3rd Rider program takes 1 - 6 months to complete depending on prior experience and your time availability.

If you have questions regarding becoming an EMT or volunteering, we would love to hear from you. Please email

Paramedic Hodges looks for a pillow at the ED.

 
I remember that one fateful day when Chief Cline took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the squad, aren't I? "Well," said the chief  "you never were really ON the squad. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your stethoscope is from a toy store. You show up at calls and then either put the O2 on yourself or steal the monitor and make us chase you to get it back." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Chief. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
