The East Freehold Fire Company is looking for Junior Firefighters who want to make a difference in their community. This program will guide and teach our members the science of firefighting in anticipation of becoming certified firefighters upon turning 18 years old. As a junior member, education is a priority. School grade must be kept up to par of the member's parents. Junior firefighters are allowed to answer fire calls (in accordance with the State of New Jersey Child Labor Laws), attend Junior Firefighter drills and meetings, partake in free company related drills and activities, and much more. Our Junior Firefighter program is overseen by Lieutenant Thomas Coniglio and a number of active firefighters within the company. There is one monthly meeting among the juniors as well as exclusive drills and training which vary based on scheduling and availability. Once a month, the junior members will attend a combined Junior Drill at varying firehouses in the area where they will not only learn new tactics and hone their skills, but they will be introduced to and work hand in hand with their future co-firefighters. Junior firefighters will be given bunker gear (boots, turnout coat and pants, gloves, nomex hood, a SCOTT face-piece and helmet) and a company uniform to be worn at the discretion of the fire company line officers.
