Support Berwyn Fire Company's Annual Fire Fund Drive

Less than 30 percent of local taxes go to the fire company, so community donations ensure crews are ready to respond in a moment's notice.

BERWYN, PA – The Berwyn Fire Company is launching its annual Fire Fund Drive to bolster community support from Tredyffrin and Easttown township residents.

Less than 30 percent of local taxes fund the fire company, so the annual fund drive helps ensure the fire company is well equipped, well trained, and well staffed to assist the community during emergency situations.

"The fund drive, along with municipal support from Tredyffrin Township / Easttown Township, and EMS medical billing reimbursement represent our primary sources of operating income for the Company," the fire company said on its Facebook page.
