protecting life, property, and the environment
Fire Department
Chester Township Fire Rescue has been serving our community since 1943. From our humble beginnings as a volunteer organization, we have evolved into a combination full-time/part-time department. We provide for your safety by offering fire suppression, emergency medical, fire prevention and public education services.
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.
Chester Township Fire Rescue protects the approximately 10,000 residents who reside in our 23.5 square miles township. 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.
