First responders to emergency calls are crucial in any town. In addition to the Whitemarsh
Township Police, there are three fire companies and one EMS squad, comprising both
paid and volunteer personel expertly trained to provide life-saving help where and when needed.

What We Do

In addition to putting out fires and aiding the sick or injured, we provide the community:

Free smoke detectors, installed in your home if assistance is needed
Fire extinguisher training to hospital and nursing care staff, as well as at schools
CPR and similar training to groups
Fire and safety inspections of public and private buildings
Consultation to the public and developers on general fire safety
Storm-water awareness training to public works staff for emergency-preparedness
Rescue operations and urgent communication services in major emergencies
