Firefighter – No prior experience is required, although it is always welcomed. We provide training by sending new members to the Montgomery County Fire Academy in Conshohocken. In addition to formal classes and certifications taught there, we also provide in-house training to supplement, refine and refresh our members’ skills. While potentially dangerous, this can be a very rewarding position. Junior Firefighter – 16 and 17 year old young men and women, who do many of the same things as firefighters, but play a limited role at emergency incidents. EMS responders- As part of our Quick Response Service (QRS), we respond to EMS emergencies and assist the ambulance companies as manpower permits. Fire Police – For those who do not want to take on the role of firefighter but who do want to help respond to emergencies, there is the possibility of helping out as fire police personnel. These volunteers respond with the firemen and help maintain scene control. They also often respond out to help the police department with traffic control for various non-fire situations. Corporate members- Even though by our nature we tend to be response-oriented, it takes a lot of effort to run our organization behind the scenes. For those who do not necessarily want to respond to emergencies but who have some business-related skill,we can still use your help. We have positions for corporate personnel like secretary, treasurer, and trustee (overseeing our property and buildings).
