Membership

The Charlestown Fire District has two companies within the district and one application process.  Applicants normally apply to the station that is closest to their residence.  It is preferred that applicants live within defined physical boundaries that include the district and nearby portions of the bordering towns.  

There are three levels of membership.  

Active Firefighters are 18 years of age and older, respond to fires and emergency incidents, and perform all other functions of the company.
