A fire station volunteer is a specialized [[VSF 02.02: Fire Station HAM|Amateur Radio Operator (ARO)]], '''''or''''' a [[VSF 14.01.04: Fire Station UHF Volunteer|non-licensed volunteer]] partnering with the ARO. Fire station volunteers also form a cohort of four (minimum) for each fire station. Each shift requires one primary and one backup ARO. Fire station Volunteers are responsible for relaying messages from BEECNs to the EOC during deployments and exercises and are fundamental to BEECN operations. Therefore, a BEECN cohort should know who the fire station volunteer is who will be relaying their messages. The responsibilities of fire station volunteers are described in [[Operations at Fire Stations|Operations at Fire Stations.]] | A fire station volunteer is a specialized [[VSF 02.02: Fire Station HAM|Amateur Radio Operator (ARO)]], '''''or''''' a [[VSF 14.01.04: Fire Station UHF Volunteer|non-licensed volunteer]] partnering with the ARO.
