Ride-Along Program

Are you interested in becoming a firefighter for the Hutchinson Fire Department? Would you like to experience the complexities of responding to an emergency first-hand?

The Hutchinson Fire Department is offering a Ride-Along Program that will allow you to do just that. The purpose of the Ride-Along Program is to open the doors of opportunity to both future potential firefighters as well as the community. It gives an insight into life as a firefighter by enhancing the knowledge and understanding of citizens while simultaneously fostering community involvement. Those who participate can expect to gain familiarity with the duties and responsibilities of the Hutchinson Fire Department personnel.
