| Student Bunk-In Program
Fayetteville Fire & EMS is proud to sponsor a progressive Bunk-In Program. This mutually beneficial program provides hands-on experience for students currently enrolled in college and who may be considering a career in firefighter and EMS. As a combination station (i.e., volunteer & career), Fayetteville provides the optimal learning environment and exposure to life as both a career firefighter/paramedic or as a highly trained volunteer working alongside career firefighters. Graduates of our program have continued on to successful careers in the fire service and in emergency medicine, law enforcement and other related fields.
Student Bunk-Ins live in the station and are expected to be active participants in the duty crew program, where they will gain tremendous experience both through training and actual calls for service. Fayetteville is consistently ranked as one of the busiest departments in Onondaga County (excluding the City of Syracuse) and handles a wide variety of calls for service, include advanced life support, technical rescue and fire suppression. Our recently renovated station accommodates 4 student firefighters.
Requirements:
- Student Bunk-Ins must belong to a fire department outside of Onondaga County.
- Provide a minimum of 36 hours (3 shifts) of duty per week.
- Student Bunk-Ins must be full-time at a college or university in Onondaga County.
