Q: Is North Lakes Fire a full time fire department?

A: No. North Lakes Fire & Rescue is a paid call fire department. We receive a small amount of money for calls & trainings.

Q: Are there age requirements?

A: Because of Maine State Laws to be a volunteer or full time firefighter you have to be at least 18 years of age and to be a junior firefighter you must be at least 16 years of age. We are currently accepting both junior and volunteer members.
