Hey Tiffany,
Welcome to the group!
If you are already a department volunteer it might be worth letting them know you are interested in taking photos and asking for a pager.
I am a volunteer photographer for two departments in my area and they have given me and a couple other photographers both a pager, and radio.
I also keep a scanner by my bed that scans the channels that major incidents would be on, as well as a mobile scanner in my car.
In some areas you can get texts sent to your phone by dispatch instead of carrying a pager.
