The Result

In 2016, 98% of North Dakota firefighters were volunteer, with many firefighters reaching retirement age or burnout and many stations unable to meet OSHA safety standards with their current workforce.

Over 3,000 individuals became volunteer firefighters during the campaign years, an impressive and lifesaving result.
