Answer the call

Volunteer with Abington Township

Your time. Your skills. Your community.

Find your way to serve.

Tell us where you would like to help. These are areas to discuss with the department, not a list of confirmed vacancies. Staff will confirm available roles and the requirements for each.

Firefighting & operational service

Ask about becoming a volunteer firefighter and taking part in the department’s training. Eligibility, required certifications and authorization for operational duties must be confirmed by department staff.

Community outreach & fire safety

Share your interest in community events, coloring-book activities and fire-safety outreach. Ask which activities currently need volunteers and what preparation is required.

Fundraising & Auxiliary support

Ask about helping with fundraising and community support through the separate Abington Auxiliary. The Auxiliary confirms its own opportunities and participation requirements.

Training & readiness

Minimum volunteer age: 18.

Our firefighters train monthly. Community members may also ask to observe a training session; confirm the date and arrangements with the department before visiting.

Required courses or certifications, attendance commitments and any screening or fitness requirements must be confirmed by the department for your intended role before you commit. Observing a session or submitting this form does not qualify you for operational service.
