ALL VOLUNTEER • STATE COLLEGE PA
Preparations are underway for the 2025 Alpha Fire Company Open House on Saturday, May 10th from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at our State College Borough Station (400 W. Beaver Avenue).
We invite community members of all ages to join us for:
…and more!
What’s always been best about this event for us is being able to show our own appreciation for the people of the region we live in and service. We take pride in preparing and shining everything up, having activities for the kids and adults, and sharing our stories with anyone who will listen.
The Open House is the perfect opportunity to learn more about what the Alpha Fire Company is and how you can get involved in giving back to your community. There’s almost always someone who fills out an application on Open House day who eventually becomes a member of the Alpha Volunteer Fire Company or Fire Police, and that could be you!
Special thank you to our community partners who will be in attendance and supporting us at this event: Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry, Centre Region Code Administration, and the Centre Region Fire Protection Program.
We hope to see you testing out your firefighting skills in Downtown State College on May 10th!
Did you ever dream of being a firefighter? Do you have a desire to do more for your community and be a part of something larger than yourself? Do you want to learn life skills that will become a part of your character—and discover leadership, responsibility and commitment that’s second to none
The Alpha Volunteer Fire Company and Fire Police are connected to the Centre Region in intensely personal ways–as residents, students, and active participants within the community we serve. What’s most striking when you follow us on social media or bookmark our blog is learning that we seem exactly like you … because we are.
Alpha members put themselves out there every day in the line of duty — for emergency calls and as first responders to fires, accidents, smoke alarms, gas leaks, hazardous material response and about two dozen other routine surprises that simply just come with the job. No one can explain the challenges better than they can.
