The purpose of the KAUST Volunteer Fire Department (KVFD) is to enable members of the community to contribute to protection and emergency response in the unlikely event of a large incident.

• Are you adventurous?
• Are you a problem solver?
• Do you want to learn new skills?
• Do you want to push your boundaries?
• Would you like to meet new people
• Are you looking to become part of an amazing team?
• Are you looking for a fantastic addition to your résumé?
• Are you KAUST resident 18 years old or over?

If you answered yes to the above, the KVFD might be for you!

The KVFD meets at the Fire Station on a weekly basis. Trainings consist of classroom learning and practical training in the fire station and at our purpose-built fire training rig. 

Attend a KVFD taster session
August 31 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
KAUST Fire Station

Be a firefighter for the night! Get a tour of the trucks and station, try out hose running and the jaws of life, and more. This event is targeted at KAUST residents aged 18+.

Even if you can’t make it to the taster session, new volunteers are always welcome. To determine if KVFD is right for you, simply come along any Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. or email KVFD@kaust.edu.sa for more details.
