SCSFA Asking Departments to Complete New Recruitment Profile, Seeks Firefighters to be Featured in Recruitment Campaigns

March 12, 2018

• Create Your New Department Recruitment Profile at https://www.firstarriving.com/sc/.
  • Our revamped site will soon include searchable profiles of departments seeking volunteers throughout the state.
  • The profile includes key information about your department, what type(s) of volunteers you are seeking, multimedia including featured photos and videos, as well as real-time content from your social media channels.
  • We ask you please have your department’s recruitment lead complete this form by Monday, April 2. It should only take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Prospective volunteers will be able to search by their location, interest and more; learn about your department and submit an interest form about volunteering that will go directly to your department’s recruitment team. As the site gears up, we will be using a variety of channels going forward to drive prospective volunteers to it and to your department’s profile as well via locally-targeted online marketing campaigns.

• Casting Call for Featured Volunteers & Those with Unique Stories
  • We are seeking to identify 15-20 volunteer firefighters, first responders, support and administrative volunteers, juniors and explorers to be showcased across a variety of our recruitment marketing channels.
  • These members may be included in photo shoots, videos and more to tell the story about why they became a volunteer, why they love it and what they’d tell others interested in learning more about joining the South Carolina fire service.
  • If you are a volunteer interested in being among the faces of the South Carolina Volunteer fire service (or know someone who should be!), please complete our casting call form at https://www.firstarriving.com/sc-casting-call/
  • We ask you submit the form by Friday, March 30^th.
  • Did you join the volunteer fire service because of a personal experience? A family connection? Your love for community? Or do you just love being a volunteer firefighter or fire service team member and want to help spread the word and grow our state’s volunteer ranks! We want to hear from you!
