If you’re between the ages of 16 and 18 and interested in joining, stop by the firehouse on Monday nights or email our membership team to request a junior application.
The Englishtown Fire Department Junior Program is an educational, hands-on opportunity for young individuals ages 16 to 18 who are interested in exploring careers in firefighting, emergency services, or public safety. Participants gain firsthand experience in fire department operations, learn basic firefighting techniques, and develop essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and responsibility.
Junior firefighters engage in a variety of training exercises that simulate real-life emergency scenarios. They assist during non-hazardous incidents and support the department at community events. The program prioritizes safety while providing meaningful experiences to prepare participants for potential careers in fire and emergency services.
In addition to technical skills, the program emphasizes personal growth and community involvement. Juniors learn discipline, service, and professionalism while positively contributing to their community. For many, the Junior Program is a stepping stone to becoming a volunteer or professional firefighter.
