New Emergency Services Building For Croydon Fire Company

LEVITTOWN, PA —The Croydon Fire Company will be getting a new emergency services building.

The renovation will be a two-phased project.

The first phase will include the demolition of the existing building and site work with the second phase for the construction of the new building. The new building will contain an engine room, an enhanced decontamination area for equipment, office space, and living quarters.

The new digs come courtesy of a $1 million state grant through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program. The grants were secured and announced by state Sen, Steve Santarsiero, (D-10), and Rep. Tina Davis, (D-141), at the fire company station.

“Our organization is a completely volunteer fire company that serves a very challenging area, protecting residents, schools, and businesses between an industrial chemical plant, three major highways, and the Delaware River,” Croydon Fire Company President Bob Struble said. “This funding is crucial to allowing us to make the necessary improvements to our station to meet these challenges."

Santarsiero said the upgraded space will streamline fire station operations so volunteers can have the resources to respond to community emergencies "safely and efficiently.”

"The renovated building’s upgraded operations will enable its firefighters to more quickly get to residents in danger," Davis said. "This is literally life-saving funding.”

RACP is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.
