The Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company, located on Stump Road and Easton Road in Plumstead Township, Pennsylvania, and has been serving the surrounding community for 92 years. The Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company is 100% volunteer covering parts of both Plumstead and Bedminster Townships as well as supporting all other fire neighboring fire departments as mutual aid. The volunteer members run an average of 325 emergency calls per year ranging from house fires, auto accidents/extractions, domestic rescues, brush fires, carbon monoxide and fire alarms and much more.

The budget of the Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company is 50% funded by Plumstead and Bedminster Townships. The remaining 50% is raised by its members through fundraising events and donations. Money raised goes towards much-needed safety equipment. For example, to outfit a single firefighter with essential safety gear will cost over $5,500.00. This cost does not include the cost of an air pack which is an additional expense of $8,500.00. To replace a fire truck costs between $650,000 and $800,000.

Thank you for your support. Thank you for honoring our local heroes. See you at the start/finish line!
