The personal rewards and satisfaction received from the volunteer fire service are often beyond description. There is a sense of accomplishment after controlling a building fire, joy and elation when a life is saved, compassion for accident victims, and fulfillment in teaching fire safety.

If you are looking for a change of pace or excitement in your life, the world of volunteer fire services is for you. If this action-filled lifestyle does not appeal to you, have no fear, there is plenty more that can be done in the business of firefighting that does not include running into burning buildings or other situations.

Members joining the fire department to pursue emergency service delivery do not require experience. All training is provided beginning with a department orientation with our leadership team to get new members up to speed and allow them to operate safety around the fire station and apparatus.

Members need to work through the Basic Firefighter program which is delivered in four modules. We strive to have our fire suppression personnel achieve national certification at the Firefighter 1 Level, which you can achieve after completing the basic firefighter program, a live structural burn training class, hazardous materials training and CPR/First Aid. Most of our firefighters move on to Firefighter 2 certification along with instructor and officer certification.

All training is funded by the department, and equipment is provided. There is no out-of-pocket expense to train to be a firefighter.

Logan Township volunteers train and certify in accordance with standards established by the NFPA and the office of the State Fire Commissioner.
