Membership
into the New Jersey State Firemen’s Association and
the Washington Township Firemen’s Relief Association
is not automatic. The New Jersey State Firemen’s Association
requires that members be between the ages of 18 and 45 and
pass a physical examination. This physical is conducted in
conjunction with the entrance physical provided to each probationary
Firefighter of the Washington Township Fire Department. Upon
completion of the physical exam, the secretary of the local
association submits the application for membership to the
State Association for review. Once approved for membership,
Firefighters must maintain a combined average of 60% of yearly
fires and drills to be considered active in the association.
