Description
United Volunteer Fire & Rescue is an all-volunteer department serving the communities of East McKeesport and Wall. We are always on the lookout for anyone 14 years of age and up to help the department in any way that they can.
Being a volunteer does not mean that you are limited to entering a burning building - far from it! In fact, not every member is interested in 'going inside'. Even if all you want to do is drive the equipment to the scene, we can use the help. There are opportunities for vehicle rescue and EMS calls, for sure, but we also need help behind the scenes with administration, fund raising, and community outreach.
All training - if needed - is paid for. Being an active member also gives you a chance to earn a free - yes, free - Associates Degree from CCAC, in any of their programs (not just Fire Science) through the FireVEST program.

Please, if you have a desire to give something back to your community, give us a try!
