We Need Volunteers

The Neshannock Township Volunteer Fire Company is made up of everyday citizens who have a desire to serve, a adventurous spirit, and a compassionate demeanor. Our organization consists of men and women of all age groups who work together to provide emergency response to Neshannock Township and surrounding communities. Not everyone actually fights fire, but each person in our organization has an important role. Many of our members participate in fire suppression, but some members choose to be rescue technicians, some specialize in emergency medical care, while others only participate in the business functions of the fire company. Our community and our fire company rely on volunteers to keep our citizens safe.
