Get involved in helping your community. The volunteers at New Hope Fire Department serve your community with pride.

 

Junior Firefighter Program

Anyone who is in high school and/or not yet 18 is considered a Juniorphoto junior program Firefighter. Junior Firefighters are members of the department who are eligible to participate in all department-related activities and training, with some limitations. For example, Junior Firefighters cannot respond to calls after 10pm on a school night and must receive no grade lower than ‘C' in any subject. Juniors are permitted to take state certification classes as part of their training and, with successful completion of such and after graduation from high school, may participate fully in all fire suppression and EMS activities.

College Program


In 2004 New Hope developed an innovative way to supplement our ranks with additional volunteers. We instituted a College Program for students interested in firefighting, or for students that have left their home departments to attend college, as a means to keep up their certification training hours.

College students spend two twelve hour shifts a month at the station and respond to calls with our paid staff. In return, the department provides them with the needed training, equipment, as well as provides them with a comfortable environment in which they may study during down time.

Our station is equipped with wireless internet and several private offices in which to work and study.
