Resource Specialist Program

Resource Specialist Program Manager:

Jeff Staples  

Resource Specialist Coordinator:

Diane Kalis 

The Resource Specialist Program consists of the Verdes Communities volunteers who respond to emergency situations under the direction of our Fire District personnel. The District considers this position a very important asset to our community.

Volunteers are not required to have specific skills or training, only a genuine interest in providing assistance to Fire District personnel and the residents of the Verdes Communities.

The Fire District provides training one day per month in addition to special training events throughout the fall/winter season.

Resource Specialists carry Fire District communications equipment and rotate “on-call” status. The shifts are based on a 24 hours period which begins at 8:00 AM the first day, to 8:00 AM the following day. These shift assignments are determined monthly.

Verdes Community members interested in participating in the Resource Specialist Program may download an application from our website and mail or drop it off at our Administrative Office located at the fire station.
