What Fremont Fire Department does

Fremont Fire Department (Snyder County Company 100) is a 100% volunteer nonprofit fire and EMS organization founded in 1931, serving Perry and West Perry Townships in Snyder County, Pennsylvania. The department covers approximately 38 square miles and protects roughly 2,500 residents, responding to 430 calls in 2025 across structural firefighting, wildland fire suppression, vehicle and rope rescue, haz-mat mitigation, farm/industrial rescue, search/rescue, aeromedical support, EMS, and traffic control. It operates 24/7/365 from a single station at 8641 Rt. 104, Mount Pleasant Mills, PA, with a leadership team of 14 named officers headed by Fire Chief Jake Wagner and President Paul Adams. The volunteer roster hovers around 32 members; the department actively recruits additional firefighters, junior firefighters, EMTs, fire police, and administrative volunteers.

The core operational technology is physical firefighting apparatus, including a 2019 KME Squad 100 (1,750 GPM pump, 1,000-gallon tank, onboard cascade system for SCBA refill), a 1992 Pierce Engine 100, a 2004 Freightliner Tanker 100, a 2003 Ford F-350 Brush 100, a 2004 GMC Utility/QRS 100, and a 2023 Bobcat UTV 100. The department also offers a community service of chlorinated pool water delivery on request.

The department is funded entirely through community donations, an annual fund drive ($30,000 goal), fundraising events (gun bingo at $40/ticket, gun bash at $25/ticket, chicken BBQs, AYCE seafood dinners at $10–$15, turkey and Valentine's dinners, apple harvest and strawberry festivals, meat bingo, consignment auction, trunk-or-treat), facility rental of the Fremont Social Hall ($150/day for ~175-person capacity), Ladies Auxiliary catering, a textile rebate partnership with Community Aid (6 cents/lb), and grants. The 2019 KME engine cost $552,000, financed via debt with $56,000 annual payments; the community contributed an extra $70,000 principal payment in 2021. There is no commercial revenue, no investors, and no parent organization.
