Usually volunteers have to pull some duty to ensure that there are people to respond. A neighboring volunteer fire dept has their volunteers pull a night shift from 8 pm to 6 am at least once a month. So this is probably what you are refering to.

I'm a female, certified EMT and I'm interested in becoming a Firefighter. Realistically, what kind of research should I do to make sure this is the right direction for me. What are my odds of making it through an academy?
