Volunteer Firefighting... More Than Fighting Fires

Firefighting is not for everyone, but volunteering can be!!

The ETVFD offers a number of opportunities to serve your community through the volunteer fire service, and much of it has nothing to do with firefighting.

Fire and emergency services are one of the most diverse and challenging professions. The diversity in this line of work is what inspires most men and women to volunteer in the fire service. Members must train and prepare to cope with situations that range from building fires to water rescue to hazardous materials incidents to medical problems, and almost any other emergency situation.

The fire service is not for everyone. You need more than just a desire to help people in order to succeed. You need courage, dedication, assertiveness, and an open mind to learn new skills and face new challenges. You will also need to have the time for training sessions, meetings, emergency responses, and various other functions.

There are many other ways to assist your community through the ETVFD. These include EMS/Medical services, Junior Firefighting, Recruitment, Fund-Raising, Record-Keeping, Financial Services, Building Renovations, and Community Service.

The personal rewards and satisfaction received from the volunteer fire service give every member a sense of accomplishment when a goal is achieved. The brotherhood and teamwork exemplified within the fire service helps individuals develop and maintain friendships. The information learned through the fire service will also help you achieve your goals both educationally and professionally.

If you are looking for a change of pace in your life or if you would like to make yourself a more well rounded individual look into joining the ETVFD.

Any person interested in becoming a member, please complete the online membership inquiry form, email us at personnel@exetertwpfire25.com,ย ย or call us at 610-779-8848.

Today several members participated in a "special assignment" in support of the Reading Area Firefighters Museum. Chief Bickings, retired Assistant Chief Trievel, and firefighters Harry Huhn, Rick Quattrock, Jeff Staller, and Patrick Bickings assisted the museum staff in transporting a 1909 American LaFrance steam fire engine from Schuylkill County to the museum's headquarters at South Fifth and Laurel Streets in Reading. The steam engine originally belonged to the Union Fire Company # 13 in Reading. The members were happy to help bring some of the Reading area's firefighting history back home. If you have not checked it out, please be sure to visit the museum! ... See MoreSee Less
