Join Us

The Watchung Volunteer Fire Department is always in need of new members. Any person, 16 years of age or older with a desire to serve their community, can join. We have many responsibilities to perform from firefighters to drivers and pump operators. There are also membership categories for those who wish to help out, but are unable to fulfill the requirements of being a firefighter. Training is provided at no cost to you.
