The Centre
Square Fire Company
is always looking for new members.
We are a volunteer organization, and we have volunteers in several
different areas:
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.
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.
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.
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 (overssing our porperty and buildings).
If any of these positions interest you, contact
us! Join your neighbors in protecting and serving your
community! Prospective members need to be at least 16 years
of
age. Stop by our main
station on any
Monday night form 7 PM - 9 PM, or on the second Thursday of the month
around 6:30PM, or call the main station at 610 272-4686.
