Welcome to the League City Volunteer
Fire Department Recruiting web page. The department is very excited that
you are interested in joining this great organization and we want to answer
all of your questions. League City Volunteer Fire Department is comprised
of individuals from all types of backgrounds ranging from NASA Engineers,
Business Owners, Plant Workers, stay at home parents, college students
and many more from our community. We depend on this diversity to keep
our department running and to bring in fresh ideas.
The next academy is scheduled to start January 9, 2008.
Classes will be held twice a week from 7pm-9pm and every other Saturday
8am-5pm. Instructors will be a combination of the Officers and certified

be at the training field located on North Kansas in League City. Classes
will also be held at one of the five fire stations across town. We have
