Rocky Run Fire Company

What Rocky Run Fire Company does

Rocky Run Fire Company is a 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer emergency services organization chartered on September 11, 2013, and headquartered at 1174 W Baltimore Pike, Media, Pennsylvania. It delivers fire suppression, basic life support (BLS), advanced life support (ALS), rescue operations, hazardous-materials response, and community safety education to Middletown Township (13.5 square miles in Delaware County, the third-largest municipality in the county) and extends ALS coverage to Edgmont Township and Brookhaven Borough, with reciprocal mutual aid to Aston, Upper Providence, Upper Chichester, Chadds Ford, Concord, and Thornbury townships.

The organization operates a fleet including Tower 46 (2014 Pierce 100' aerial), Squad 46 (2015 Marion rescue engine), Engine 46 (2000 Pierce Enforcer), Utility 46 (2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500), ATV 46, and three ambulances (a 2001 Horton, a 2011 MedTec, and a 2007 Horton). Fire response is staffed by 100% volunteer firefighters drawn from across the community; EMS is delivered through a small paid team of EMTs and paramedics supplemented by volunteers. The company responds to approximately 800 fire emergencies and 3,000 medical emergencies per year.

Rocky Run's revenue model blends three streams: primary township subsidies and government grants from Middletown Township, a recurring EMS Subscription Program offering residents priority ambulance service and waived co-pays beyond insurance, and tax-deductible community donations collected via annual fund drives and online platforms (Givebutter, QGiv, PayPal). The 2023 annual budget exceeds $500,000, with payroll above $150,000. Distribution of emergency services occurs through the 911 dispatch system; the EMS subscription is sold directly to residents, visitors, and businesses within the coverage area.

Revenue model

1. Government Subsidies and Township Funding: Financial support received from Middletown Township and various government grants. This is the primary source of operational funding.
2. EMS Subscription Program: Community members contribute to the EMS subscription program in exchange for priority ambulance service and waived co-pays/balances after insurance. Approximately 3,000 emergency medical calls are responded to annually.
3. Tax-Deductible Donations: As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax-deductible. Donations are collected year-round via multiple platforms (Givebutter, QGiv, PayPal) and fund drives to offset costs not covered by Township subsidies and grants.
4. Annual Fund Drive: Annual fund drive conducted in Spring/Summer followed by an End of Year campaign in November/December. Helps offset costs for equipment, technology, station maintenance, payroll for part-time EMS staff, and future planning.
