Volunteer?
It’s 1 a.m.; the smoke alarm sounds. You quickly round up the family and pets and head to safety while calling 911 on your cell phone. As you stand surrounded by your loved ones watching the fire engines arrive, you’re grateful you had a plan, you’re grateful you had practiced . . . you’re grateful when told that the fire is out and the damage is minimal.
But what would happen if no one responded to your call?
Keystone Valley Fire Department is located in western Chester County, Pennsylvania, and proudly serves the residents in both our primary area and our mutual aid response area. We operate out of two stations and provide ambulance, fire, and rescue services to the multitude of homes, churches, shopping centers, and businesses already in existence. With the rapidly expanding community, we urgently need your help.

Do you have time to help us, help you? The next time you see the firetruck or Ambulance going down the street, think about the people who are waiting for the fire department to respond, and think about the people who dropped what they were doing to answer that call. You can be one of those people. Picture yourself getting trained and ready to a Firefighter, EMT and/or Support personnel. "People Helping People"
