JOIN OUR TEAM
The Centre Square Fire Company is always looking for new members.
We are a volunteer organization, and we have volunteers in several different
areas:
Firefighter
The most obvious position is volunteer firefighter. While potentially dangerous,
this can be a very rewarding position. No prior experience is required, although
that 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.
EMS responders
As part of our Quick Response Service (QRS),
we respond to EMS emergencies and assist the ambulance companies as manpower
permits. We provide training for those new members who do not already have
EMT qualifications.
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 repsond 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).
If any of these positions interest you, contact us!
