Freeburg Fireman's Carnival  2023

"BIG" crowds for our shows in the heart of Snyder County
But before all the band pictures...it's about the Freeburg Fire Company!!

The Freeburg Fire Department is a 100% volunteer station in Snyder County, Pennsylvania that provides Fire/Rescue/EMS services to the Freeburg area.
These generous volunteers do their part to raise funds, fight fires, protect your property, and risk their lives to save yours.... and don't get paid... they are giving, community minded men and women who serve the community.

The next life they save could be yours!
WE THANK YOU!

Volunteer Firefighters are summoned to a wide array of emergencies across the country everyday including fires, emergency medical incidents, terrorist events, natural disasters, hazardous materials incidents, water rescue emergencies, high-angle and confined space emergencies, and other general public service calls.

Volunteer firefighters do not get paid, but they will be first on the scene to pull you out of a crushed car, protect your property, and risk their lives to save yours.

A Fireman's Prayer

He stares in the face of death, without a second thought
to save that one special life, that he so bravely sought
He has walked as close to "hell on earth," as any man could do
and he's so proud of the job he did, for people he never knew
He puts his life on the line, every time duty calls
always doing what needs to done, without even a pause


He is a fireman with overwhelming pride
never afraid to take a chance.
When saving someone’s life often he says, "it's my job"  
But we really know that he is very special, and always ready to go

So when you hear the sirens wail, or see the flashing lights
stand aside and look with pride, he's going to save a life.


Communities served by Volunteer Firefighters depend on them to be their first line of defense for many types of emergencies.

The public relies on Volunteers to be their first line of defense in these emergencies. Volunteers spend an enormous amount of time training to prepare for these emergencies.
