Are you interested in joining the Fair Haven Fire Company in one of its activities? We continue to seek members who can help in a number of capacities. Please consider volunteering your time to this worthwhile effort. Start by reviewing the following requirements.

General Membership Requirements

Fire Department – Active Firefighter

Members in this category respond to fires and emergencies in Fair Haven and surrounding communities (in cases of “mutual aid”). Although prior experience is helpful, none is required for admission to this category. Rigorous training is provided by both the Fire Department and by the Monmouth County Fire Academy. Applicants must pass a physical exam and a routine background check by the Fair Haven Police Department. If you’re interested, please click on the On-Line Application link above to initiate the process.

Fire Department—Social Member

Members in this category participate in non-firematic aspects of operating the Fire Company, including fund raising events such as the annual Firemen’s Fair. The only requirement for membership is a sincere interest in helping the Fire Company. If you’re interested, please click on the On-Line Application link above to initiate the process.

First Aid Corps Member

Fire Department members who also join the First Aid Corps respond to emergency trauma and medical situations and provide basic life support services. The First Aid Squad also responds to all fires and other emergencies in which injuries are likely. Members must be a member of the Fire Department (Active, Social or Affiliate), before they can join the First Aid Corps. No prior experience is required, although new members must pass an approved First Responder or Emergency Medical Technician course during their first few months in the organization. Applicants must pass a physical exam and a routine background check by the Fair Haven Police Department unless they are Active Firefighters. If you’re interested, please click on the On-Line Application link above to initiate the process.

Fire Department—Affiliate Member

This is a new category of membership that has been established to encourage area residents who are interested in joining the First Aid Corps, Fire Police or Auxiliary, but who are not interested in joining the Fire Company as an Active or Social Fire Department member. Membership to this category requires a sponsor in the Fire Company. If you’re interested, please click on the On-Line Application link above to initiate the process.
