Service Opportunities From: Alvernia University

Becoming a live-in member of the Exeter Twp. Vol. Fire Department is financially advantageous for students pursuing a postsecondary education. The live-in program offered by the Exeter Twp. Vol. Fire Department provides a financial savings for the student, while enhancing the staffing levels and service provided to the community.

In exchange for free living accommodations, the live-in member will be required to perform station duties, attend training / meetings, and respond to emergency calls. Attendance and dedication to education are a priority and will be taken into consideration if they conflict with station duties.

There are currently two openings for live-in members. The openings will be filled on an application and interview basis. Firefighters with previous training and experience will be given first consideration for the program; however, we will accept interested individuals with no previous training or experience into the program.

Opportunities are available for students wanting to provide support to the fire department!  While fighting fires is something that our volunteers certainly do, there are many additional opportunities that don't involve running into burning buildings!  Interested students can assist with administrative functions, equipment and supply readiness, facilities maintenance, information technology and web design, fire prevention activities, public education, training, and other valuable contributions.  If you have a skill or willingness to learn, we can probably put you to good use!
