Exterior Firefighter
Along with Interior Firefighter our department can use several Exterior fire crew members as well. Exterior firefighters perform several tasks including manning hose lines and battling the fire from the outside. These members will also work with the SCBA equipment, supplying of hand tools, scene safety and ventilation to just name a few areas.
Upon joining all firefighters will receive basic training in Engine Operations, SCBA, gear and Fire Safety and must pass a qualification exam prior to being able to respond to calls. After your initial qualification the department will pay for all advanced training.
To be an active member of the Macungie VFD you must be 18 years of age. Along with fighting fires we respond to other kinds of emergencies. These include car accidents, medical assistance to the Ambulance Corps, pump outs due to floods, search and rescue assists and several other types of incidents.
