Interested in Membership?

Commit to us and we will commit to you!

When you join our family at Station 45, you will receive top notch training, equipment and the rewards that come with volunteering to serve your community.

If you are looking to become a member of Station 45, there are a few things that you’ll need to know. First and foremost, you’ll need to come down to the Firehouse on a Monday night between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. to pick up an application and speak with an officer. The application is made up of a questionnaire, personal statement, physical evaluation, background check, and driver’s record release. There are three avenues of membership that you are available: Active Firefighter (18+), Junior Firefighter (16-17), Associate Member (18+).

Active Firefighters are individuals, who after they join the fire department, who complete a State mandated Firefighter 1 course. This course is offered at the Somerset County Emergency Services Training Academy and is paid for by Montgomery Board of Fire Commissioners District 1 after membership has been achieved. Many advanced courses are also available and encouraged.

Active Firefighters respond to fire calls including, but not limited to, structure fires, brush fires, motor vehicle extrication, hazardous materials incidents, and swift-water rescue.

Junior Firefighters are individuals that are not old enough to carry out the duties of an Active Firefighter, but still provide support at an incident. Junior Firefighters are an integral part of the fire company, and many “Juniors” go on to become Active Firefighters when they turn 18.

Associate Members carry out many duties relating to the administration of the Firehouse. These duties can be photography, website management, accounting services, event planning, etc.

Upon completion of your application, you will be required to attend the next two business meetings (first Monday of each month). You will also be encouraged participate in as many weekly Monday night work nights and trainings as possible. After the second business meeting, you will become eligible to be voted on to become a member.

Hope to see you soon!
