Welcome to the Silverdale Volunteer Fire Company Official Website
We are proud to provide Hilltown Township and Silverdale Boro with state of the art fire, emergency, and emergency medical responses. We thank everyone that supports us financially and all of our members who respond to calls for help day or night and in any type of weather 365 days a year.
WAYS TO HELP FINANCIALLY: In these poor economic times, our normal day-to-day operating, maintenance, and training expenses continue to go up just like your living expenses. We are asking you to PLEASE dig deep, and continue to support your volunteer firefighters by donating to our department separately or through our yearly mail in fund drive. Keeping the tradition started by Ben Franklin alive, we are all volunteers that spend countless hours responding to emergency dispatches, training, educating, and running the operation with minimal municipal funding. Your donations help keep our doors open and allow us to purchase safety gear, apparatus, and all the modern firefighting equipment necessary to keep you and your loved ones safe.
SILVERDALE FIRE NEWS
We are now the home of Medic 159 which is part of Chal-Brit Regional Emergency Medical Services who staff an Advanced Life Support Emergency only response ambulance out of our station 24 hours a day, every day. You will see them respond out of our historic front station bays while our fire apparatus continues to respond out of our back station. Our centralized location is in the most populated area in our corner of Bucks County and because of our location, the ambulance can expedite medical responses when seconds count. Response times are way down in Hilltown, Silverdale and Sellersville due to the quick responses much closer to our local residents and businesses.
HELP WANTED: We are always actively recruiting new members and trainees. See our tab on the many ways you can join Silverdale Fire. Our Junior Firefighter program is growing and we now have 3 new recruits.
SPECIAL DONATIONS NEEDED: As we enter fall and winter, our stock of Gatorade has been exhausted during the summer. We are looking for anyone willing to donate some Gatorade to our Firefighters. If you can help, please drop off your donation at our firehouse and let whoever is here know that it is for the firefighters. Your donation is greatly appreciated.
SAFETY TIP: Our number of vehicle accident calls has been significantly increasing lately, PLEASE remember to drive safely, put down the phones, look both ways and be COURTEOUS while driving.
SILVERDALE FIRE T-SHIRTS FOR SALE– Support your local Fire Company and look great doing it in one of our newly made supporter T-shirts. Comes in various size in Navy Blue or Steel Grey. $20 any available size. Come by the station any Tuesday night and pick up yours.
IN MEMORIUM Our longtime member Ken Knapp has recently passed away. Our condolences to his family and friends on the loss of Ken.
