We have a new suit for you! 

Become a Member of the Iselin Volunteer Fire Company #1

 What it Means to Volunteer

When you volunteer, you will be making a commitment of time - usually several hours per week. In addition to responding to emergency calls, you will spend time training, attending meetings, maintaining equipment, participating in community outreach events, and a  wide variety of other duties. Many volunteers enjoy participating in these activities, so there is no limit as to how much time you can give.

Experience shows us that successful volunteer firefighters are usually caring people who are concerned about their community and enjoy working as part of a team. You should also be the type of person who enjoys being challenged and learning new skills.

Are you that kind of neighbor?

Are you ready to do your part when the alarm calls?

Have You Got What it Takes?

When fire strikes in Iselin, you take it for granted that your call for help will be answered. And it will be ... but only because there are volunteers in Iselin who willingly contribute their time and energy to keep your community safe. These men and women come from every walk of life; they work and live all around you. They share an unselfish commitment to being there ... ready to serve ... whenever a crisis occurs. That is truly being a good neighbor.

It is not a decision to take lightly. It calls for training, hard work, and courage. But it can also be the most satisfying and rewarding thing you ever do.

What Will My Training Cost?

It will cost you nothing! Experienced, professional training will be made available to you at no cost.

Volunteering Has its Rewards
