Volunteer Firefighter (Live-In)

Fayetteville Fire Department is a 100% Volunteer Fire house that responds to over 700 Fire, Rescue, and QRS calls per year, making The Ville one of the busiest volunteer fire companies in Franklin County. Fayetteville Volunteers provide fire suppression, vehicle extrication, technical rescue, hazmat support, and first responder EMS services to the community. Our First-due response area is comprised of most all parts of Franklin County. In addition we provide mutual aid response to several other counties including Adams and Cumberland County.

Live-In's are asked to attend as many community functions as they are available to attend. As Live-In's become oriented with the department and its standard operating procedures, live-in's will be required to take a standard riding test that all members of the department are required to take as well. As live-in's complete their probationary period, they will be given the opportunity to become a driver and operator on all department apparatus after completing required drivers training hours. Also after probationary period, live-in's will be given the opportunity to hold a department fire line officer.

Any persons interested in becoming a live-in, at Fayetteville Fire, will be asked to participate in an informal interview with the live-in membership committee. The live-in committee will then evaluate the application and the interview notes and candidates will be notified within 2 weeks.

In addition to cost-free living, The Ville provides wireless internet, full size workout room, cable TV, wash/dryer, full size kitchen, and areas of studying. In the near future The Ville plans to begin the remodeling process of its living quarters which will provide private living quarters.

The Ville Live-In program provides endless fire, rescue, and EMS training. The Live-In program gives members great exposure to company level, state level and national level training opportunities at no cost. Fayetteville Fire covers ALL costs including registration, travel, lodging and other associated costs. Live-In members routinely attend programs at the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy, Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute, and the National Fire Academy.

Firefighters with previous training and experience will be given first consideration, but anyone interested is encouraged to apply.
