Community Volunteer Fire Cooperative

At the Wanderland Community Volunteer Fire Cooperative, we understand the incredible dedication and challenges faced by our local volunteer fire departments. You are on the front lines, and your commitment to community safety is unwavering. We recognize the growing demands on your resources, from staffing shortages to the need for ongoing training and vital wellness support.

The Cooperative is here to serve as a supportive, non-departmental partner, offering resources and coordination efforts designed to complement your invaluable work, not complicate it. We respect your department's autonomy and internal procedures, aiming to reduce administrative burden while amplifying your capacity to serve.

How Wanderland Supports Your Department:

Volunteer Recruitment: Receive referrals of prospective volunteers from our online intake portal, who are curious and ready to serve.

Enhanced Training Opportunities: Collaborate on or utilize our 72-acre mountain property for training retreats and readiness programs.

Critical Wellness Support: Partner with us to provide wellness screenings and behavioral health check-ins for your firefighters through licensed providers.

Community Engagement & Prevention:

Collaborate on public outreach and educational programming on fire prevention and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) safety.

Firefighter Recognition: Access facilitated community-building and recognition events for your firefighters and their families.

We are committed to fostering regional cooperation and strengthening the volunteer fire service across the tri-state Lookout Mountain area. We invite you to explore how a partnership with Wanderland can help your department thrive.
