FAIRLESS HILLS VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY

What FAIRLESS HILLS VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY does

Fairless Hills Volunteer Fire Company is an all-volunteer fire department incorporated in March 1952 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, serving the Fairless Hills community and providing mutual aid to surrounding municipalities. The organization was founded in December 1951 in response to the U.S. Steel Corporation residential development and has operated continuously from its current firehouse at 425 Hood Boulevard since 1960. The company answers approximately 700 emergency calls annually, covering fire alarms, structure fires, rapid intervention team assignments, auto and industrial accidents, and mutual aid responses, with the service area spanning Fairless Hills and over 50 neighboring Bucks County fire companies including Levittown, Falls Township, and Morrisville.

The department operates a modern apparatus fleet consisting of one engine (2016 Pierce Arrow XT pumper with 2,000 GPM pump and 750-gallon water tank), one 107' aerial ladder (2020 Pierce Arrow XT Ascendant), one rescue pumper (2010 Pierce Arrow XT equipped with Holmatro Core Technology rescue tools), one utility vehicle (2017 Ford F-350), and two chief's vehicles. The organization is governed by elected administrative officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretaries) and led by an operational command structure (Chief, Deputy Chief, Assistant Chief, Battalion Chief, Captains, Lieutenants) with approximately 40-50 active members including firefighters, engineers, and fire police.

The revenue model is nonprofit and donation-driven, with no charges for emergency services to the community. Funding derives from individual donations (via website/Square site), fundraising events including an Annual Golf Outing at Bensalem Country Club and Easter flower preorders, hall rentals for community events through Westaby Hall, and community sponsorships from local businesses (IBEW Local 269, Bidlingmaier & Bidlingmaier, Burns Auto Group, K.E. Seifert, Mazza Iron and Steel, Sims Metal). Volunteer recruitment is conducted through community outreach with prospective members invited to attend Tuesday night meetings.
