New Tripoli Fire Company Needs You!

Join Us

We are always looking for new volunteers to help our fire company.

Don't Panic! You don't have to have that deranged will to go running into a burning building to join us (although we are always looking for active firefighters too). Everyone can help out in their own special way - and we really appreciate any way that you can help.

Membership to the fire company runs at a massive $6 per year. This membership fee entitles you to attend our monthly meeting and make a difference in how the fire company is run.

Apply for membership by contacting one of the existing members, or completing our membership application form.

Monthly Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 8:00pm at the New Tripoli Station. For $1, you also get to eat (great food, laid on by the Ladies Auxiliary) after the meeting!

Members are voted on at the next monthly meeting after your application. It is VERY rare to not be voted in, but it is a By-Law.

Social Members

We are always looking for members to help out in the running of the fire company. Be it helping with fundraising activities, helping with food preparation, helping with the facility care and repair, we would love to have you on board. It is a very rewarding and fun hobby to have.

Fire Police

If you don't feel up to, or can't, be an active firefighter, but still want a rush of adrenaline, the Fire Police would love to have you help out. The Fire Police do an amazing and essential job of protecting the public and protecting the firefighters. The job takes dedication and commitment, but it's very rewarding and greatly appreciated by all (except the odd irate motorist who's more concerned with getting home for supper than going on a detour).

FireFighters

Whether you've served with other fire companies, you are completely new to this and are looking for excitement and a challenge, or a "junior" still at high school, we are always looking for active firefighters.

Firefighting is fun, it's exhilarating, it's challenging, it's the ultimate adrenaline rush, but it's also very hard work. You become part of a team like no other. On the fire ground, we depend on each other for survival and the camaraderie generated from that is second to none.

As an adult firefighter, you will be expected to regularly attend (obviously we can't all attend all the time, but we expect a level of commitment) the weekly training sessions.

The weekly training takes place at 6:30pm every Monday at the New Tripoli Station. The training usually runs until 9 or 10pm, but it's fun as well as educational.

After attending regularly for approximately 6 sessions, you will be issued with a pager and some old turn-out gear (firefighting gear). You will then be able to attend calls with the rest of the crew.

After one year of regular attendance at training and calls, you will be fitted out with your made-to-measure turn-out gear.

Before you can enter a scene structure or wear the SCBA gear, you must take at least the "Essentials of Firefighting" course, which is offered, for free, by LCCC and many other local organizations. There are a lot of courses available for firefighters and you are encouraged to take as many as possible. If any of them require payment, it is fully reimbursed by the fire company upon completion of the course.

Junior Firefighters

At the age of 16, with your guardian's consent, you may join the fire company as a junior firefighter. You will be trained in firefighting the same way that the full adult firefighters are.

The only restriction is that on calls, we cannot legally allow you to be as active as a full firefighter, but your role is just as important in a support capacity. The fire scene is also where you will learn the most by observation.

At 18, you will be able to serve as a regular firefighter.

Come along on your own, or why not get a couple of like-minded friends to join up with you - It's fun, it's exciting and it's extremely rewarding!
