Description
The LVFC is excited to invite you to be part of the continued evolution of the Leechburg Volunteer Fire Company. We are a 100% volunteer organization that has been serving Leechburg for 131 years. The LVFC has been staffed over the years by dedicated men and women who are integral part of the community. The LVFC welcomes you to be part of the transition age as the community re-gentrification takes hold with millennials taking the place of baby boomers and baby boomers moving into the roles held by the greatest generation. The community of Leechburg is evolving with an increasing number of younger residents with growing families moving into town and we want you to be part of the community. The members of the LVFC recognize and welcome the changing demographic and new faces to our community. We as an organization are making commitments to the community to embrace continuing change to provide the town with trained and well equipped emergency responders. The role of the volunteer fire fighter in the community is multi faceted as such we need members with multiple different skill sets to assist with administrative and business management of the non profit corporation which governs the LVFC and is also responsible for providing the financial resources for the needs of the fire fighting side of the organization. The LVFC is committed to community partnerships with the local municipality, school district, neighboring fire companies and other local community service groups as shown by our joint efforts in emergency response, community events, educational initiatives and fund raising for the LVFC and other community groups. Not only does being a member of the LVFC enable you to be a part of a community service organization it also permits you to save you and your neighbors hundreds thousands of dollars per year of tax dollars as the cost of a borough funded paid department would be in excess of $950, 000.00 per year according to numbers provided by NVFC. The Leechburg Volunteer Fire Company is committed to the future of the community and we want you to be a part of it and are tailoring our programs to meet the needs and of the growing and changing population and its ability to be a community volunteer. The LVFC has also partnered with the borough for tax credits for volunteers as well as having started an internal tuition reimbursement program for members. There are also national and state level initiatives currently in the developmental stages for volunteer firefighters
