Pennsylvania Is Consolidating 6 Volunteer Fire Co,14967557

After two years of planning, six independent volunteer fire companies in Bensalem Township are set to consolidate into one fire company.

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 3:30AMBENSALEM TWP., Pennsylvania --"It will be one fire department, one set of standard operating procedures, one executive board and one leadership team," said Public Safety Director Williams McVey.

BVFD Deputy Fire Chief Ron Harris says the number of volunteers has dwindled locally and across the state. He said in the 1970s, Pennsylvania had more than 300,000 volunteer firefighters. Today that number is about 30,000. McVey said volunteers will still work out of the existing buildings and, over time, new signage and branding will appear on trucks and buildings. Officials also believe response times will improve.
