The Ramtown Fire Company is currently seeking new members to help serve our community.

Active Firefighter:

Minimum age requirement: 18 years old

Active volunteer firefighters are responsible for emergency call responses. Emergency calls may include structure fires, motor vehicle accidents or fires, brush fires, activated alarms, hazardous material spills, technical rescues, medical assist calls, and much more!

In addition to emergency calls, members are also expected to attend non-emergency activities such as meetings, training sessions public events, and more. Fire company meetings and trainings are each held once a month, typically on Tuesday evenings.

Each new member participates in a one year probationary period, during which time they will complete the fire academy and in-house training to become familiar and proficient with our equipment and operations. After completion of the fire academy, all of our firefighters are encouraged to participate in ongoing training to continue expanding their skills and knowledge as lifelong learners.

Although previous firefighting experience is certainly welcomed, it is NOT required, and all training and safety equipment is provided at no cost to the member. 

Junior Firefighter: 

Minimum age requirement: 16 years old

Junior firefighters have similar requirements as active firefighters. Junior firefighters are not permitted to answer calls after 10:00 PM, on school nights, or at any time in which school is in session. Although juniors are allowed to respond to most calls, they will never placed in a situation that could be hazardous or life threatening and will always be closely monitored and supervised by a senior firefighter or officer in charge.  All junior firefighters are required to maintain a minimum of a "C" average.
