Chester Township Fire Rescue has been serving our community since 1943.

Our dedicated personnel are committed to providing the best possible emergency services to our residents. We take pride in striving to be our best so you can be safe. We have a strong sense of duty to delivering excellence while also being prepared to meet future challenges.

We provide protection from one fire station with 7 full-time personnel, 25 or more part-time personnel, 2 pumpers, 2 water tenders, 3 paramedic ambulances and an assortment of support vehicles.
