Meet Volunteer Firefighter Joe Reilly

WHY VOLUNTEER?
Since starting to volunteer in my home town in 2006 before coming to Camp Hill, I am now coming up on 14 years with CHFD.

I have always been interested in becoming a firefighter. Grew up around the fire house. My father and grandfather were both firefighters in Merrimac, MA. Between that and my passion for helping people, there is no better way to try and help someone when they are having their worst day. I enjoy being an active member of the community and the brotherhood/sisterhood that comes with it. It’s a rewarding thing to do. A lot of hard work, but a lot of fun and the group of people involved make it all worth it.

Rank/Certifications:
FF1, Incident Safety Officer, Relief Association Treasurer
(Previous positions –Lieutenant , Relief Association Board Member, Fire Department Board Member)

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:
I enjoy hanging out with family and friends. Love being outdoors and traveling. Cannot wait to travel again.

Meet Volunteer Firefighter Rob Kozicki

WHY VOLUNTEER?
My family had been involved in the fire service for years. I had a light course load my first semester at Bloomsburg University so I had a lot of free time. I went down to Rescue Hose (Columbia County Station 20) which was the closest to campus and asked if they wanted help. They gave me an application and I was voted in that fall. I have been volunteering with Camp Hill Fire Department since March of 1992 and my son Rob is also a junior firefighter.

Don’t be intimidated by the time commitment, give what you can. It is great just to be part of a special group, where else would a regular citizen get to drive a vehicle valued at $1 million?

Rank/Certifications:
FF1, FF2, Fire Instructor I/II, Fire Officer I/II/III, Driver Operator Pumper, Driver Operator Aerial, Driver – E14, T14, R14, Old Engine 2
(Previous positions held – Lieutenant, Captain, Fire Chief)

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:
Married to my wife Beth for 20 years, I enjoy playing golf, making sawdust in the garage, working on model train layouts with my sons Robert and Thomas and visiting my favorite Camp Hill spot Siebert Park.
