Excelsior outlines application process; Pinecroft members can apply, fee to be waived
Summary
Excelsior representatives said volunteers from Pinecroft may apply to join Excelsior, subject to background and child‑protection checks; the department will waive the $15 application fee and use an investigative committee and membership vote to accept applicants.
Excelsior Fire Company representatives described their membership procedures and how Pinecroft volunteers could be absorbed. Jim Green said applicants complete an application reviewed by an investigative committee of three, which reports to the general membership for a vote; junior members are managed by the chief until age 18 and then sworn in as senior members if approved.
Jim Green said Excelsior would waive the usual $15 application fee for Pinecroft applicants but that standard criminal and child‑protection background checks are required. He and other speakers said applicants who pass committee review have historically integrated into the department and some have advanced to leadership roles.
