Application information
On behalf of the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club, allow me to thank you for your interest in joining Enter Chapter here.  The Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club is an organization of firefighters who ride motorcycles. We promote motorcycle safety, project a positive image of motorcycle enthusiasts, enjoy the Fraternity of Firefighters, and contribute to several charities.
Our different Membership types are:

Active Member:
Bylaw 2:01:  Active membership shall be available to Past or Present Firefighting personnel of an established Fire Department, which is under the command of a Fire Chief or Public Service Director, whether they are Career, Industrial, Military, On Call, Part Paid, Volunteer, or Wildland, and who presently own or have access to a Motorcycle and have a current legal Motorcycle endorsement. An Active member who can no longer ride a motorcycle may retain their active status. Emergency Medical Technicians and Medics are eligible to join as members if they are employed by an established Fire Department and may retain their Active status after they are no longer employed as such.
 
Associate Member or FD Associate Member:
Bylaw 2:03:Associate membership shall be offered to a person who has been proposed, in writing, for such membership and accepted in good standing and, in the opinion of a majority of the Chapter’s Executive Board, has substantially contributed to the promotion of the Club for a minimum period of six (6) months. Final approval shall be by a majority vote of the Chapter members at a meeting held at the conclusion of the six-month (6) period. Associate membership shall not be offered if it results in the number of Associate Members exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Chapter's active members. At the discretion of the International Executive Board, the 10% rule may be waived if the number of Active Members in a chapter lowers after an Associate has already been accepted. Once a member has been accepted as an Associate member and for various reasons, is no longer able to ride a motorcycle they may, at the pleasure of the chapter majority retain his/her membership as an Associate member.
Associate membership may also be available to any person who is an employee of a Fire department and not qualified for Active membership, they may retain their FD Associate status after they are no longer an employee of a Fire Department. This type of associate membership shall not be included in the 10% restriction as stated above and will be recorded as a FD Associate in the chapter and rosters of the Organization.
