See what our members have to say..
“The Franklin Fire Company Jr. Member program has helped me in many ways other than just becoming a fireman; but making me into a leader and someone people can look up to in their community. It’s helped me attain a level of responsibility through duties around the station and while on calls. I’ve made some of the best brothers and friends being a member at Station 4. I am truly lucky to be a part of this department.”
Dylan Panfili
Sr. Member at Franklin Fire Company
“I basically grew up at the Franklins with my dad who was a member. I love the atmosphere here, great group guys and a lot of knowledge to learn from them! The Franklin Fire company is very aggressive in their tactics and well-disciplined with the members of the department when it comes to training for the future.”

Operational Members (Firefighters & Fire Police)
We are always looking to take new firefighters into the organization. Operational firefighters can be broken down into two categories; interior firefighters and exterior firefighters. Interior firefighters enter hazardous environments in order to mitigate the emergency. Some examples would be a house fire, building fire, carbon monoxide emergencies and various other hazardous situations. Exterior firefighters operate outside of the hazardous structure and/or hazardous environment. Some of the duties exterior firefighters perform include but are not limited to: setting up ladders, helping with hose lines, and retrieving tools from the apparatus.
The Franklin Fire Company has a live-in program for both male and female firefighters as well. Both male and female bunkrooms have private showers and a locker room with your own personal locker(s). Free Wi-Fi, computer access, and cable. Access to a full kitchen, dining area, lounge, and gym.
Requirements to be a live-in:
- Must be an active member of the Franklin Fire Company
- You must stay at the firehouse 4 nights a week
- Assist with weekly cleaning
- Respond on calls while on station
- Age 18+
Note: Membership applications are not complete without payment of the $10.00 application fee.
Non-Operational Members
Non-Operational Members help out with fundraising, administrative tasks and community events, which may include bingos, gun drawings or helping with fire prevention activities at schools. This group consists of members who do not ride on the fire trucks or respond on emergencies but are just as vital to our organization as the firefighters. We are always looking for people to help us with fundraising, because without fundraising, there are no fire trucks on the street.
Note: Membership applications are not complete without payment of the $10.00 application fee.
Junior Members
Junior members are operational members ages 14-17. After the junior member completes the proper training required, he or she may then ride on apparatus to the scene of emergencies. Junior members are not allowed to enter any hazardous structure until the scene has been deemed safe by the Incident Commander. Junior members serve a vital part on the fireground and around the firehouse. Not only will junior members learn how to be a firefighter, but they also complete essential tasks at the scene of emergencies. Junior members are the future of our organization.
Note: Junior Members do not have to pay the $10.00 application fee.
