Becoming a live-in member of the Exeter Twp. Vol. Fire Department is financially advantageous for students pursuing a postsecondary education. The station is a short commute to Reading Area Community College, Penn State University (Berks / Lehigh Campus), Alvernia College, Albright College, and Kutztown University. With current student housing expenses on the rise, the live-in program offered by the Exeter Twp. Vol. Fire Department provides a financial savings for the student, while enhancing the staffing levels and service provided to the community.
In exchange for free living accommodations, the live-in member will be required to perform station duties, attend training / meetings, and respond to emergency calls. Attendance and dedication to education are a priority and will be taken into consideration if they conflict with station duties.
