The fire service is in need of men and women in their community to volunteer their time performing various duties. Did you know that your local fire company is 100% volunteer? That includes the firefighters you see on the street, the office staff that manages the business aspects, and the dedicated members who raise funds to keep the firehouse running. Richland Township Fire & Rescue is located on Shelly Road near the intersection of Cherry Road and North Rt 309 and we need your help!We are currently accepting applications for trained and non trained firefighters and QRS (Quick Response Service) Members. Firefighters will be trained in various aspects of firefighting and rescue skills through the Bucks County Training Center which is affiliated with the Bucks County Community College. Our QRS members are members who want to become Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) or are already certified and want to respond in our QRS truck to assist our local ambulance organizations.We also need members who are willing to dedicate their time for fundraising events. Richland Township Fire & Rescue relies on fundraisers to help with our day to day expenses. Members who join for fundraising would become part of our valuable group of members who commit to making sure our fundraisers are successful so we can meet our monetary needs.If any of these positions sound like the volunteer fire service may be for you, call Assistant Chief, Fred Coughenour at 267.227.2543
