Middlesex Volunteer Fair 2025: Meet Your Local Heroes

Meet Your Local Heroes:  The Volunteers of the Middlesex Fire Department

The Middlesex Fire Department responded to 468 calls for service in 2024. Did you know Middlesex Borough has no paid firefighters? Every one of our 59 members are “Volunteers” . Our members donate their time to serve their community. Just a few benefits of joining the Middlesex Fire Department are no cost to you for State & Federal training, department issued gear, & uniforms. We also offer LOSAP (Length of Service Awards Program) which is a retirement account for eligible volunteers. If you meet our department requirements you will receive a stipend in your account annually that can be withdrawn upon retirement. The FD budget committee is also in negotiations with the borough for a response per emergency call stipend for all eligible volunteers that would also be awarded annually.

Volunteering as a firefighter is not just about putting out fires; it's about being there for people in their most vulnerable moments. It's about providing support, comfort, and a sense of security during times of crisis.

The chance to help others, to be part of a dedicated team, and to face challenges head-on is a very rewarding experience. Many of our current and past members have also pursued one of the emergency services as a career because of their experience as a Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department, by becoming a 911 Dispatcher, Police Officer, Paid Career Firefighter, EMT, or Paramedic. 

Come join our members at the Volunteer Fair on May 3, 2025, between 10am and 3 pm at the Middlesex Borough Library to learn how you can get involved.
