For years the Macungie Volunteer Fire Department has been providing emergency services to our community. This protection has been professionally performed by dedicated volunteers who live in the area of the Borough of Macungie. Our firefighters take great pride in ensuring that our neighbors enjoy the absolute best safety and comfort they deserve. However, as we strive to protect you, we are looking for some help---your help! The Macungie Volunteer Fire Department is a volunteer department located on Walnut Street.  The department has approximately 25 firefighters that donate hundreds of hours per year to help their neighbors, many of whom they have never met. The fire fighters are typical citizens who work a full-time job and then donate time from their personal lives to train to be the best firefighters they can be. This “hobby” can be very rewarding, exhilarating and challenging. Most people that choose to get involved with the volunteer fire service enjoy it.  The friendships that are made will last a lifetime. We call it a family---brothers and sisters working together to help those in need.  We have many different roles for citizens to help with: assisting with fire prevention and education work, helping with administrative work, driving the fire apparatus, operating water pumps, assisting with traffic, operating the jaws of life, and of course, performing interior firefighting. All of these roles, individually or cumulatively, are equally important to us.
