Volunteer Firefighters

Why Volunteer?

Fill out our interest form above, it only takes a minute and there is no commitment. One of our current volunteers will reach out and answer any questions you have about the life of a volunteer firefighter. We want you to be confident filling out the formal application.

You don't have to live in Millcreek to volunteer.

Still not sure?

We have great reasons to volunteer, today.

Purpose and Belonging

No matter which Millcreek Fire Department you choose to volunteer at, you will find new friends and family with the shared goal of creating a lasting impact in the community.

You will have a second family, for life.

Join 80 years of tradition in Millcreek, save lives, serve your neighborhood and be a presence in the community.

Many Backgrounds - Many Ages

Are you a business owner, nine-to-fiver, military member, high school graduate, college graduate or just an eager member of the community? Volunteer firefighting is for anyone that can pass the various applications and tests, regardless of where you came from.

Departments even offer Junior Firefighter memberships for those aged 14-18. As a volunteer, you can learn skills that will last a lifetime, regardless of future plans.

Wherever you want to go next, we can help.

Start With No Experience

Volunteers have the opportunity to attend local, regional, state or nation wide training free of charge. Training includes seminars, conferences or hands-on training with instructors. All required equipment is also provided.

Incentives

Beyond a place in the community, there are a lot of benefits to being a volunteer firefighter. Every year, members along with their guests are invited to and always enjoy the annual rewards banquet held in the Fall season.

Other events held throughout the year are a night out at the Erie Seawolves game, several picnics, and being able to participate in several parades throughout the year.
