 Questions should be directed to Assistant Chief Scott Wihlen swihlen@brightonfd.org
The Brighton Fire Department will host an informational meeting for student firefighters interested in joining the live-in program for the 2010-2011 academic year.

This will take place  at Brighton Fire Station One (3100 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14610) on Tuesday March 16, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.

Applicants are asked to bring a valid driver's license, copies of their firefighter training certificates and a letter of recommendation from their current fire chief.

For more information contact Assistant Chief Scott Wihlen swihlen@brightonfd.org.


To be eligible for the program, you must:

  • Be a full-time student (minimum 12 credits)

  • Be an interior firefighter with another New York State fire department

  • Have completed New York State Firefighter I by August of this year.

The term ‘Live-In” represents a unique community service opportunity with the Brighton Fire Department. 

The “Live-In” is a person who serves the department and community in a volunteer capacity as a “live-in” or “residential” fire fighter. 

In return, the fire department provides living accommodations for Live-Ins at no cost

All Live-Ins must be matriculated, full-time students in an area college, and be at least 18 years of age, or have the consent of a parent/guardian and meet a minimum firefighter training standard at the beginning of the academic year.   Prospective Live-Ins will be required to submit a letter of recommendation from their hometown Fire Chief along with their application.

Additional information on this program will be posted here in the near future.  For now, anyone interested in learning more about becoming a “Live-In” may contact Assistant Chief Scott Wihlen at swihlen@brightonfd.org.
