Ride Along Program Requirements and Guidelines

• Participants must be at least 18 years old.
• Participants must be able to function in such a way that they do not impede the crew’s ability to complete their duties. (Example: The Rider must be able to get in and out of Fire District apparatus without assistance.)
• Participants may sign up for no more than two Ride Alongs per year.
