Lackawaxen Fire Commission

Lackawaxen Fire Commission Do you want to serve your community? Are you action oriented? The Lackawaxen Fire Commission is recruiting firefighter candidates.

The emergency services in Lackawaxen Township, PA, are unique in many ways. However, like most areas in Pennsylvania, our fire departments are staffed with 100% volunteers and we are proud to say that the quality of service provided to our communities is superb. In addition to the traditional roles of fighting fires and providing emergency medical assistance, our personnel are trained for and resp

ond to a vast variety of emergencies, such as accident victim extractions, elevator rescues, and hazardous material calls. In addition, our shoreline communities maintain fire boats for emergencies along the river and dive teams for water rescue work. Mountain rescues are fairly common in our mountainous areas and many departments have established a joint Technical Rescue team in order to be prepared for a number of rescue situations. If you are currently a Lackawaxen Township Volunteer Responder, we thank you for your training and dedication. If you’re a local business owner or live or work in the area we hope you’ll show your support to the men and women who help keep the county safe. If you are a local resident, are action-oriented, adventurous and relish a challenge, please consider becoming one of us.

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.
