Mt. Juliet has been planning a volunteer dept. for nearly two years to supplement county station 3, which provides its fire service protection.
These contacts were mentioned on WKRN-TV news:
Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson said, "They [WEMA] fight the fires, they handle the emergency calls for us. We need to supplement that a little bit with our growth."
Mt Juliet resident Shawn Donovan is a city of Franklin firefighter and approached city leaders earlier this year with a proposal to start a volunteer fire company.
Wilson County is now the fastest growing county in Tennessee. If you are also cross-trained and qualify as a EMT-IV or paramedic, there are job opportunities with ambulance services including possible employment with WEMA - Wilson Emergency Management Agency, which has a paid and volunteer fire department
EMS responders under the EMA offices.
