    About Us

    The Community Assistance (COM251) volunteers are vital in supporting the Gilbert Fire & Rescue Department by working alongside on-scene fire units. Volunteers complete 28 hours of onboarding training and are then expected to commit to two four-hour monthly shifts. Their responsibilities encompass responding to both emergency and non-emergency situations, assisting families displaced by residential fires, providing transportation services, offering smoke alarm checks and installations, and aiding motorists. They also provide valuable information and referrals to community members in need. This structured commitment and partnership enhance the department's ability to effectively serve the community, ensuring that individuals receive essential support during critical times.
