MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

Benefits

All volunteer firefighters are covered by the Volunteer Fireman's Benefit Law which provides coverage similar to worker's compensation to provide medical care and cover lost wages in the event you are injured in the line of duty. 

As a volunteer firefighter you will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and learn new skills. Leadership, a sense of responsibility, team work and self-confidence are important skills which can be learned through your fire company service. These skills are valuable both on and off the fireground!

The fire company also sponsors several social events including an annual dinner dance, family picnic, Christmas party, clambake and other events for company members. Members are encouraged to not only participate in these activities but to work on committees to organize and plan them.

Incentive Program

The Endwell Fire Department also provides incentive items to members who dedicate over 100 hours of service in a 6-month period. By answering alarms, attending training sessions, attending meetings, and doing service activities (such as truck and station maintenance, fire prevention and preplanning activities).   Points are earned which can be used to obtain shirts, jackets and other  items.

The fire company also has an incentive program for all members who celebrate 5 years (or multiples of 5 years of service) ; members are awarded monetary amounts to spend on "firematic" items.
