How to write a letter to join volunteer fire department?

• I would like to know how to write a letter on how to join a volunteer fire department. Should the letter be long or short? What things should I include in the letter?

• Answer:

  Hi there, I have been a volunteer firefighter for a few years now. I don't know how it works in your country but over here volunteers makeup around 95% of the total firefighters and are very respected. All you have to do is tell them a bit about why you want to be a firefighter. For example for me it was because I wanted to give back to the community, get involved and do something good for the people I live around. It doesn't have to be long. Just be genuine and they will respect you. Hope this helps!
