Red Card/Out of state Qualified Crew

All rostered members of NBWFC are qualified to fight fire in-state, having passed an annual fitness test. A few members, however, are “red-carded” - meaning they’ve passed a more rigorous test and are qualified to fight fire out of state. Over the years, many members of Northern Bucks have deployed out of state to fight fire. Below are some photos of our members on deployment and a map of the states NBWFC members have fought fire in.
