In this study we explore the motivations behind joining Volunteer Fire Brigades in the Western Pomeranian Voivodeship (Poland). We address a gap in understanding how individual, social, and cultural factors shape motivations in the context of voluntary emergency services. In the research a qualitative approach was employed, analysing responses from 338 firefighters across six districts. The study reveals a complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, influenced by social and technological changes. It highlights the importance of tradition, community engagement and the evolving nature of volunteerism in contemporary society. The findings offer insights for improving recruitment strategies and adapting to the changing landscape of volunteer emergency services, especially considering the needs and expectations of younger generations.
