When they are young, many children dream of becoming a firefighter. However, not as many people follow through on this dream as you might think. If you still dream of fighting fires and protecting your community, becoming a volunteer firefighter might be right for you!

Harborcreek residents rely on volunteers to respond quickly to emergencies, to perform emergency medical service and firefighting duties, and to provide assistance and support to other volunteer departments.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter, consider the following:
-You must be in good physical condition. We perform most of the same tasks as our career firefighter counterparts. Some of those tasks require heavy lifting, crawling through tight spaces and moving quickly in heavy protective clothing and gear.
-Firefighting can be a dangerous job. It could place you in life or death situations. You need to be able to stay calm, cool and collected in the heat of the moment. -If you are not able to actively fight fires, there are other responsibilities that a volunteer can fulfill. |
The chance to aid and serve the community is an extremely rewarding experience. If you think you can handle the "heat" and would make a good volunteer firefighter, contact us for more information. You will then be contacted by someone at the department who can guide you through the requirements and application process.
