Ridge Fire Company

What Ridge Fire Company does

Ridge Fire Company No. 1, operating as Station 62, is a nonprofit volunteer fire company founded on May 11, 1936 and chartered on June 29, 1936, headquartered at 480 Ridge Rd, Spring City, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The organization provides emergency response services across a designated primary coverage area in southeastern Pennsylvania, including fire suppression, rescue operations, vehicle extrication, fire police and traffic control, fire investigation coordination, and emergency medical services support. It maintains a fleet consisting of Engines 62-1, 62-2, 62-5, Rescue 62, and Utility 62-1, and is dispatched via the Chester County 911 system.

Ridge Fire Company is integrated into a regional mutual aid network spanning Chester and Montgomery Counties, with documented operational partnerships with Stations 51 (Limerick), 61 (Kimberton), 64 (Norco), 73 (Ludwig's Corner), 69-5 (Twin Valley), Montgomery County Rescue 98 (Royersford), Goodwill EMS, Friendship EMS, and the Chester County Fire Marshal's Office. Incident response volume is consistent and substantial: 421 incidents in 2024, 401 in 2025, and 218 through July 2026 with monthly call volumes of 20–47. The website, hosted and designed by Firehouse Solutions, has recorded over 1.566 million visitors since June 2021.

The organization is funded entirely by community donations, fundraising events, and volunteer support rather than direct customer payments. Its commercial footprint is effectively zero; it offers no products, services, or subscriptions for sale. Marketing and donor engagement are conducted through the company website, social media, an annual Community Day event (21st Annual scheduled for September 12, 2026), and participation in third-party community fundraisers such as the Touch A Truck event benefiting the Coventry Food Pantry. Governance is administered by elected trustees (contactable at [email protected]), with an undisclosed broader volunteer membership supplementing the five listed employees.
