I VOLUNTEER TO SAVE LIVES WHAT DO YOU DO?
Volunteer firefighting is a very rewarding and valuable way to serve our community. It takes dedication and many hours of training to become a firefighter. We volunteer to keep the lives and property of our Piscataway community safe. We are people just like you with different backgrounds, but we know everyone brings something special to the team. Some of the situations you will experience as a firefighter are difficult and can be both physically and mentally taxing, so a certain level of maturity is required. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, please give us a call to (732) 560-3740 and leave a message with your name and a phone number.
