Fire Corps is an American volunteer program which is designed to connect community members with their local fire/EMS departments to help with non-emergency tasks. On a national level, Fire Corps is managed by the National Volunteer Fire Council and supported by the Department of Homeland Security, Citizen Corps, and the United States Fire Administration. Launched in 2004, Fire Corps is one of five partner programs under Citizen Corps, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's grassroots strategy to bring together government and community leaders to involve citizens in all-hazards emergency preparedness and resilience. The Fire Corps web site located at (www.firecorps.org ) serves as a gateway to information, resources, training, and networking opportunities for fire/EMS departments as well as community members interested in non-operational volunteer opportunities with their department. Departments can use this site to register their citizen volunteer program and community members can use the site to find a local Fire Corps program. == Mission == The mission of Fire Corps is to increase the capacity of volunteer, career, and combination fire and EMS departments through the use of citizen advocates. Fire Corps provides resources for departments to utilize citizen advocates in non-operational roles so they can develop, implement, and sustain programs and services that will help their department meet the needs of their community. The Fire Corps national office seeks to: * Learn about promising practices being used in existing non-operational volunteer programs * Share this information with departments that want to expand or improve their programs * Increase the use of non-emergency volunteers in existing programs * Help citizens learn about and get involved in Fire Corps programs in their communities * Help agencies without a program to get one started 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fire Corps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
