Brookhaven Fire Company Sta 52

What Brookhaven Fire Company Sta 52 does

Brookhaven Fire Company Sta 52 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer fire and emergency medical services (EMS) organization chartered on June 7, 1922, providing primary fire suppression and Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance services to the Borough of Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, and secondary EMS coverage to seven surrounding Delaware County communities. The organization operates from a single firehouse at 2 Cambridge Road, Brookhaven, PA, opened July 13, 2006, which houses seven pieces of apparatus: Quint 52 (Spartan/Sirius 75-foot aerial with 2,000 GPM Hale pump), Engine 52 (4-Guys twin engine with 1,500 GPM Hale pump, delivered 2023), Rescue 52 (KME Predator with Hurst tools and cascade air system), Squad 52 (4-Guys twin engine with 2,000 GPM Hale QMAX pump, delivered 2023), Utility 52, and three BLS-certified ambulances equipped with Ferno stretchers, bariatric power loaders, and Zoll AED plus units. The organization responds to nearly 2,000 emergency runs annually, with EMS call volume reaching 2,639 in 2022, and is supported by approximately 100+ members across active firefighters (22), career EMS staff (26), fire police, apprentice/junior firefighters, and life members.

The organization's revenue model combines three streams: (1) community donations solicited through annual fund drives and an online donation platform (Givelively), (2) federal, state, and corporate grants including the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG), Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER), Community Economic Development Grant (CEDG), State Fire and EMS Grants, and Enbridge Community Grants, totaling $882,992 between 2019 and 2023, and (3) ambulance billing for BLS transport services. The company employs career EMS staff paid hourly ($17/hour for EMTs with 911 experience at 36+ hours/week, $15/hour for less than 36 hours, $11/hour for Emergency Medical Responders) while volunteer membership is free apart from a nominal $5 application fee. The organization leverages mutual aid agreements with at least nine surrounding fire companies (Aston Township, Parkside, Upland, Middletown, Garden City, Rocky Run, Media, Lower Chichester) for coordinated regional response.

Distribution is conducted exclusively through the 911 emergency dispatch system, with a dedicated recruitment website (joinbrookhavenfire.org) and Facebook (facebook.com/BFC52) supporting volunteer acquisition. In February 2015, the Borough of Brookhaven hired two full-time Public Fire Safety Officials to provide daytime coverage when volunteer availability is constrained. A SAFER-funded volunteer stipend program was implemented January 1, 2024, addressing volunteer recruitment and retention challenges that are endemic to the volunteer fire service sector nationally.
