Become A Member
If you’d like to apply for membership you can do so by filling out an Application for Membership and turning it in with the membership fee of $6.00 (fee is refunded if application is rejected). Paper Applications may be obtained by stopping in to the Fire Department and speaking to a member if any are available at the time, alternatively you may fill out and print an application here on the website.
Applications may be submitted in person at the Fire Department or by mail (if submitting by mail, please use caution with the membership fee, checks and money orders may be made payable to Hyde Vol. Fire Department). If you wish to drop off the application with the membership fee in person, a good time to do so would be shortly before our monthly meeting or during a regular event such as Bingo (dates and times of both may be found on the events calendar).
