Staff & Fleet

Firefighting and Emergency Medical Services are constantly evolving in both tactics utilized and challenges faced. The Ralston Volunteer Fire and Rescue membership is versatile and composed of a wide variety of personnel including the next generation of aspiring Fire/EMS personnel, military service members, Ralston residents of various trades, and professional firefighters in other jurisdictions. If you’re interested in becoming a member, please view our Join Section to learn more.

Ralston Fire and Rescue is privileged to participate in a mutual aid agreement with all surrounding fire departments. Thanks to this arrangement, in incidents such as hazardous materials incidents where additional resources are needed, mutual aid partners are able to provide assistance.
