With two fire stations and nine state-of-the-art apparatus, our department stands ready to respond to emergencies and ensure the highest level of fire protection and emergency services.
In addition to serving our local community, we provide critical mutual aid to neighboring municipalities, including Collegeville, Trappe, and Norristown Boroughs, as well as Upper Providence, Upper Merion, West Norriton, Worcester, East Norriton, Skippack, and Limerick Townships.
