WASHINGTON, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Like many over the age of 45, Sandra Sokol's introduction to the fire service came from the 1970s TV show Emergency! Like many women, she juggled a career, motherhood and a divorce. Unlike many women, she also threw herself headlong into the volunteer fire service while taking on all those other responsibilities.

Key Points:

Unlike many women, she also threw herself headlong into the volunteer fire service while taking on all those other responsibilities.
She is also captain and president of a volunteer rural/suburban fire company that runs about 40 calls per month.
The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) – the nation's leading association representing the volunteer fire, EMS, and rescue services – sat down with Sokol to dig deeper into what it means to be both a volunteer firefighter and a mother.

National Volunteer Fire Council Commends Employer for Supporting Volunteers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Once upon a time, employers used to let volunteer firefighters leave work to answer an emergency call. This was especially beneficial in small-town and rural communities, where the majority of firefighters are volunteers. It ensured enough responders would show up during weekday emergencies when the volunteers were at their "day jobs."

Key Points:

The perk, which falls under John Deere's Power for Good program, lets workers who are volunteer firefighters leave work to respond to calls.
That means employees who are not volunteer firefighters who donate their time to another group, can direct those earnings to a volunteer fire department.
While not part of the volunteer program, Deere funded a full-length documentary movie that explores the life of volunteer firefighters around the country.
Make Me A Firefighter is a national volunteer firefighter and EMS recruitment campaign launched in 2015 by the NVFC to help departments reach new members.
