Volunteer with BES

Rescue members are the main body of individuals who are operational members. Rescuers train for and respond to emergency and non-emergency incidents and have voting privileges on all business matters.

Rescuers are trained in all areas of rescue. Activities include responding to incidents, driving rescue vehicles, performing search and technical rescue duties, interacting with other public safety agencies, and assisting with non-rescue tasks to keep the organization running smoothly.

BES rescuers are required to attend a percentage of regular trainings on Monday nights and Saturday mornings.

Similar to Rescuer except for a few changes to the number of rescue calls and the types of trainings you attend.

Adjunct members are individuals with specialized skills who intend to supplement rescue operations in specific roles and capacities. Adjunct members are not eligible to be elected Chief or appointed to a Field Officer Position and are non-voting members.

If you're interested in being an adjunct rescuer, you come with years of expertise in one specific service we offer and plan to only perform that service.

BES is a non-profit that must be maintained as a business. We are always looking for volunteers to help with: Vehicle Maintenance / Fleet Management, Accounting & Finance, IT & Marketing / PR, HR & Recruiting, Facility Maintenance, Grant Writing & Fundraising.

You can combine associate volunteer work with being an adjunct or rescue member — or volunteer on the business side only.
