Welcome to Brighton Volunteer Fire Company #5

Thank you for your interest in becoming part of our team. We’re proud to serve our community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — and we couldn’t do it without dedicated volunteers like you.

Our department is built on neighbors helping neighbors. We are always looking for individuals who are ready to step forward, give back, and make a real difference in the Town of Tonawanda.

Whether you have prior experience or are just beginning   your journey, we provide the training, support, and                                                       teamwork needed to help you succeed.

Get Involved

Joining Brighton Volunteer Fire Company #5 means stepping forward when your community needs you most. It’s an opportunity to serve with purpose, to grow in confidence, and to be part of something truly meaningful.

This is more than volunteering — it’s answering the call to protect your neighbors, your families, and your community.
