Become a Member

Our philosophy allows members to best fit their volunteer fire service into their personal life. Although we do have minimum attendance requirements for responding to fire calls and station trainings, most people are easily able to find the time necessary to become contributing members to our team, regardless of having a busy work/life schedule.  

We encourage all new members to complete the Pennsylvania Essentials of Firefighting Program. Classes for this program are offered at various times during the year on weekday evenings and/or weekends, accommodating most individuals without conflicting with their work or school commitments. The program consists of modules that can be completed within a few months or extended over a couple of years, depending on how individuals choose to integrate the classes into their schedules. After completing the training program, individuals are eligible to take the Firefighter 1 Certification test. 

 No. All required equipment and training is paid for by us.  

No. We are a completely at-home response fire company. Members are encouraged to respond to calls whenever possible, but we have not found the need to require duty or on call times for members. View our How We Respond page to learn more.

We provide workers’ compensation insurance for all members which covers any incident that is fire company related. 

As a volunteer firefighter, you do not get paid. However, you are eligible to receive a stipend for each call that you make. 

We respond to various types of fire and rescue calls, hold trainings, host fundraisers, teach fire prevention and participate in many other community events. 

At the Moon Township Volunteer Fire Company, you are not just a member of our organization, you’re part of the family. Our members come from all walks of life, but on calls and off they all share a common bond to serve their community. Our members are students, medical professionals, mechanics, accountants, engineers and more, making the fire company a great place to build lasting personal and professional connections.
