Benefits of Our Volunteer Fire Company System

Lower Taxes
Fire protection services and equipment are expensive. A system of our size would cost taxpayers several million dollars a year if it were not staffed by volunteers. Upper Macungie Township has an excellent record of holding the line on taxes. Our volunteer fire company system is one reason why we have been able to achieve this.

Personal Community Commitment
People who care about their community get great satisfaction from being involved in efforts to make our neighborhoods and families safer and more secure. By sharing your time and skills with one of Upper Macungie’s fire companies, you will reap the fulfillment of building a stronger community...and you will meet some of the nicest people in the bargain!

Room for Everyone To Get Involved
This isn’t just for firefighters. We need everyone and anyone who has time to share. There are volunteer categories to fit every age and lifestyle. If you are willing to help, we have responsibilities for you and welcome your commitment to our team effort.
