Becoming a live-in member of the Reiffton Fire Company is financially advantageous for students pursuing a postsecondary education. The station is a short commute to Reading Area Community College, Penn State University (Berks / Lehigh Campus), Alvernia College, Albright College, and Kutztown University. With current student housing expenses on the rise, the live-in program offered by the Reiffton Fire Company provides a financial savings for the student, while enhancing the staffing levels and service provided to the community.

In exchange for free living accommodations, the live-in member will be required to perform station duties, attend training / meetings, and respond to emergency calls. Attendance and dedication to education are a priority and will be taken into consideration if they conflict with station duties.

The Reiffton Fire Company facility provides its members with: · Internet Access (Cable internet and Mozzila Firefox)  · College Computer Software (MS Word, Excel, and more) · Quiet Study Facilities · Kitchen Facilities (Microwave, Stove, Refrig., and more) · On-site Restaurant · Air Conditioned Sleeping Quarters · Washer and Dryer  · Newly renovated bathroom facility
