Join as a volunteer

We are a 100% volunteer-based fire department. We could not protect our community if it weren’t for the men and women who have taken the initiative to volunteer and make a difference.

You don’t need to fight fires to join - we are looking for members for both operational and support levels from firefighters to social members.

Applications can be dropped off at the station on Tuesday or Friday evenings at 6:00PM or call the station at (724) 727-3079.

Senior Firefighter

As a new active firefighter, you will begin in a short probationary period while you learn alongside our veteran members.

Becoming a volunteer firefighter is a meaningful way to serve your community, protect lives, and gain valuable skills—all while maintaining your current job or lifestyle.

What You Do as a Volunteer Firefighter

  • Respond to emergencies like structure fires, brush fires, car accidents, medical calls, etc.

  • Provide first aid and assist emergency medical services.

junior firefighter

Becoming a junior firefighter is an exciting and educational opportunity for teenagers, ages 14 to 17, who are interested in firefighting, emergency services, or community service. It allows young individuals to learn about the fire service, develop valuable skills, and become part of a team—all while preparing for possible future roles as a senior firefighter.

Social member

A social member is a non-operational volunteer who supports the department in ways that don't involve emergency response or firefighting. These members are essential to the overall functioning of the fire department, contributing to the social, fundraising, and community engagement aspects of our department, helping with events, administrative tasks, and station upkeep.

Typical Responsibilities:

  • Assisting with events and fundraising, such as Bingo, Gun Bash, Open House, etc.
