BECOME ONE OF THE ONES, LIKE TJ KNAPP

MEET: TJ KNAPP, Forest Volunteer Fire Department

Some reflections from TJ:

"Family involvement and a solid brotherhood of fellow firefighters is what attracted me to the fire service and joining Forest Volunteer Fire Department."

"I spend several afternoons at the fire station or whenever I can make some free time to work with the equipment and to converse with the other members. Finding time is always a challenge, but I am always excited about working at the station and learning new things that I manage to find the time."

“This is what I like to do and it is my passion."

Becoming a volunteer firefighter is hard work, something TJ Knapp is all too familiar with. But the rewards of becoming a member of one of the four Lackawaxen Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania fire departments are also great.

TJ joined Forest Volunteer Fire Department when he was 14 years old. He is now three years into his junior membership, which will end when he turns 18 years old next year and is able to finalize all his fire service training. TJ has developed new relationships and made new friends while completing all of his introductory training and continues to grow with his new home away from home.
