Fire Service to host open houses to recruit volunteer firefighters
In an effort to interest residents in becoming volunteer firefighters, the Citrus
County Fire Service will host a number of open houses around the county in January to
explain what it means and what it takes to be a volunteer firefighter.
The stations where the open houses will be held are in the areas of the county where
the Fire Service most needs volunteers. The open houses will be Saturday, January 15. They
will run simultaneously at each station from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be four, and the
locations are: Floral City Fire Station, 7880 East Spanish Trail, Hernando Fire Station,
3673 East Orange Drive, DeRosa Fire Station, 10165 N. Citrus Avenue, Sugarmill Woods
Fire Station, 500 West Oak Park Drive.
United Way Needs Volunteers
United Way of North Central Florida is accepting volunteer applications for the
Free Income Tax Assistance Program. As a volunteer tax preparer, you will make a differ-
ence in the lives of the people you serve. Connecting a tax customer to the Earned Income
Tax Credit can raise a family’s income by more than $5,600. Volunteering once a week
for the entire tax season can produce more than $51,000 in refunds! Contact Jon Dechow,
United Way of North Central Florida, 352-331-2800 x227 or jdechow@unitedwayncfl.org.
