If interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter stop by our headquarters (3 Township Road,
Richboro) for a brief interview and to meet our staff. Successful applicants will be brought into
the organization as a probationary member. You are approved for probationary service at a
monthly meeting held on the first Monday of each month at Station #3 in Richboro. After
completion of orientation and training, the department administration will determine when
you become a full, regular fire fighter. A criminal background check is initially required and will
be completed by our personnel. There is a state requirement that you obtain a clearance from
the Pennsylvania Child Abuse History website, and a link will be provided following interview.
Thank you for your interest in our volunteer organization.
