Us Help You!!
"Neighbors Helping Neighbors"
The Little Silver Fire Company #1 is an all volunteer
department and we are always in need of new members to fill our ranks.
Volunteering to help your community is very rewarding. There are
many types of membership in which
residents can help our organization:
Active Membership:
Active members are the firefighters who respond to emergency
calls & fire alarms within the borough. Firefighter
training is provided at no cost & is easy to incorporate into
even a busy schedule. Training takes place at the Monmouth
County Fire Academy in Howell & new members can choose to attend
on either Saturday or Sunday for 12 weeks. Upon graduation,
members become NJ State certified firefighters, as well as certified
to provide basic first aid & CPR. Training is ongoing
throughout a firefighter's entire career with drills & classes
occurring monthly to update skills & advance our capability to
protect our residents.
To become a firefighter, contact the LSFD Fire Chief at 848-207-7220 or stop by the Fire House on Prospect Ave any
Monday night between 7pm & 9pm.
Social Membership:
Social members are vital to our organization, with
all the benefits of membership as an Active member, without the
firefighter training or requirements. Social members help run
the business side of our organization, such as fundraising, annual
events such as the Halloween parade & our awards banquet. Many
social members hold offices within the Fire Company. Social
members can hold any position within the company except those
pertaining to firefighting.
To become a social member, you can download the
social membership application here.
Simply follow the instructions & drop the application off at the
Fire House on any Monday night between 7pm & 9pm.
Cadet Membership:
Fire cadets are an essential part of the fire company. From
helping on engineer's night to assisting on fire calls, cadets learn
many skills that are needed to become a firefighter. On the
fire scene, cadets are closely supervised and perform tasks such as
changing air cylinders and setting up tools away from hazardous
environments. Many cadets that have gone through the program
have moved on to become firefighters. Anyone aging from 14-18
that is interested in becoming a fire cadet, please stop by the
firehouse any Monday night between 7pm & 9 pm.
Fire Police:
The Little Silver Fire Police is a very important part of the fire
company. They operate at all emergency scenes and control the
traffic flow and the crowd. These members allow firefighters
to operate safely on fire scenes without the worry of traffic or
large crowds getting in the way.
If you are
interested in joining any position but not sure how to start, stop
by the firehouse on Prospect Avenue any Monday night between 7pm &
9pm. Members will be there to show you around and lead you in
the right direction!
