Medford Township Fire Division is combination fire department composed of volunteer and career firefighters. All of the career members in the Division were former volunteers in Medford. The combination of volunteer and career firefighters provide the optimal fire protection to the residents of Medford Township by providing good response times while keeping the tax burden for fire and rescue protection services low relative to other communities. The volunteers save the community an estimated $5,000,000 of tax dollars each year.

Our volunteers receive many benefits. We provide all of the equipment and training necessary to become a state certified firefighter or Fire Police Officer. All Medford Fire Division volunteers are enrolled in a Length of Service Awards Program (LOSAP), which is a pension plan where a member can become fully vested in as little as five years. There is also a tuition reimbursement program where members or their children receive a tuition credit of $600 per year for four years toward courses at a county or state college. Uniforms and Personal Protective Equipment is also provided at no cost to the members.

If you are under the age of 18, you may be eligible to join our Junior Program. Click here to find out more about this exciting program.

The volunteer members of the Fire Division consist of many diverse backgrounds and professions. We have members who are students, doctors, lawyers, electricians, mechanics, technicians, police officers, teachers, truck drivers, retired and many others. Men and women ages 14 to over 70 all helping to protect our community.

The Fire Police unit is also an option for those who can not commit the time necessary to become firefighters, but want to serve as part of the organization. These men and women provide a valuable service in that they assist the Police in controlling vehicle traffic and crowds around emergency scenes. Click here to find out more.
