Junior Volunteer Firefighters Receive Recognition

Over the past week, four junior volunteer firefighters from the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company graduated high school and many received an addition elective credit towards graduation upon completing 90 hours of community service. Established by the Delaware General Assembly in 1998 and allows students grades 9-12 to earn 1 elective credit.

The volunteer hours completed as part of the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company or any service group may also be used towards the Delaware Volunteer Credit. Volunteer activity cannot be political or advocacy in nature and must be performed at a non-profit agency in Delaware. Volunteer Service must be approved by the State Office of Volunteerism.

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company is proud to recognize the following firefighters for the completion of this initiative:
