Why are volunteers so valuable?

The Silverdale Volunteer Fire Company is a 100% volunteer fire department.  None of our members are paid for the valuable services they provide.

The majority of our funding comes from donations, particularly our yearly fund drive.

Donations can be sent to:

• Silverdale fire company provides 4 fire trucks and over 30 firefighters for free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• All of the members are required to pass the essentials of firefighting provided by the state and county fire academies.
• Our members are cross-trained as EMTs (emergency medical technicians) and VRTs (vehicle rescue technicians).
• Our members also spend thousands of hours a year keeping their firefighting and rescue knowledge up to date.
• We provide emergency services to the residents and businesses in Silverdale Borough and Hilltown Township.
