Anyone 16 years of age or older, living within the borough limits and surrounding area can become a member. Simply contact the Fire Chief or the Company Secretary for an application. After a complete physical by your doctor, a criminal history and reference check, you can be recommended for membership into one of the three following categories.

Active Firefighters - 18 and Older

Once the body votes to admit you for membership, you will serve a one year probation during which you MUST not only meet the necessary requirements of all active members, but also complete the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy's 166 hour Essential program. Completion of the course may run past your one year annivesary date and this will be taken into consideration.

Junior Firefighters - 16 & 17 years of age

All applicants either 16 or 17 years of age will be admitted for membership so long as they have written permission from a parent or guardian and they must obtain working papers from the school district. All junior members will be governed by the Fire Company Junior Member Rules as well as Pa State Child Labor Laws. Junior members will be responsible for meeting the same requirements as all active members and are encouraged to enter into the Pennsylvania State 166 Hour Essentials Course. Those who do not enter the course, MUST then at least pass NFPA 472 Hazmat Awareness.

Social Members

Anyone wishing to join the Company as a non-firefighting social member will be admitted and are subject to the following stipulations. Social members do not attend alarms or training excercises. They are however, expected to attend meetings and fundraising events as part of their duty.
