Probationary Requirements:

As a probationary member of Cockeysville Volunteer Fire Company, you will be expected to meet the following requirements. While we are a volunteer company and understand that life does happen, these are the requirements on which we will decide if you will become a full member and if you do not feel you can meet these requirements at this time, we would be happy to welcome your application at a future date.

• 20 hours of in-station time per month while on probation. Time spent in EMT/FF1 class DOES NOT count towards this requirement.

• Completion of EMT or Firefighter 1 within your first 12 months of membership.

Information About Classes:

• Firefighter 1 and EMT classes are offered by the Maryland Fire-Rescue Institute. These classes typically include 2-3 sessions per week, with 2 weekday nights starting at 7pm and 1 weekend day starting at 8am or 9am. Weekend only or weekday only classes may be offered as well.

• Classes are offered at various locations in the county. There is no guarantee classes will be held at CVFC.

• All classes are subject to space and instructor availability.

• Classes are based on the academic calendar and typically fall classes begin in late August/early September and spring classes begin in January/early February. Mid-semester starts may also be offered.

• MFRI does offer a summer crash course consisting of M-F 8am-5pm; however, space is limited and prospective members will need to be voted into the company 2-3 months prior to the start of the course to be seated in the course.

If you have a question about your circumstances, you may contact [email protected] prior to applying.
