THE 5-MINUTE FIRE SAFETY RESETSCREENSHOT THIS & CHECK IT OFF.Share it so others so they can do the 5 minute challenge too!
Here's the honest reason we're doing this.Volunteer fire companies around here are running thinner than they used to. The calls haven't slowed down — the roster has. That's true at our station and it's true at every station around us.So rather than just ask people to join, we figured we'd show you what it's actually like first.Firefighter for a Day is Saturday, October 17. You'll wear the gear, breathe off an SCBA, take a door, and run a hose line — the same things we train on. No commitment and no pitch at the end. If you walk away thinking "not for me," that's a completely fine outcome. If you walk away still thinking about it, come find us.A lot of our members started exactly this way. Curious, no experience, showed up once.Franklin Park VFC · Ingomar VFC · Ohio Township VFC · Big Sewickley Creek VFC · Highland Fire Company📍 2360 Rochester Rd, Sewickley, PA📅 Saturday, October 17 — check-in 8:00 AM👤 Ages 14–17 welcome with a parent or guardianGear provided.
