Our Heritage and Commitment

The Mohnton Fire Company was established with a simple yet profound purpose: to provide exceptional emergency services to the residents and businesses of Mohnton and the surrounding areas. What began as a small group of committed volunteers has evolved into a well-equipped, professionally trained organization that responds to hundreds of calls each year. Our rich history is woven into the fabric of this community, and we take immense pride in the trust that generations of families have placed in us.

As a volunteer fire company, we represent the very best of American community spirit. Our members come from all walks of life – teachers, mechanics, business owners, retirees, students, and working professionals – all united by a common desire to serve others in their time of greatest need. This diversity of backgrounds brings unique perspectives and skills to our organization, making us stronger and more capable of handling the varied challenges we face.

Comprehensive Emergency Services

At Mohnton Fire Company, we provide a full spectrum of emergency services designed to protect our community around the clock. Our primary services include:

• Fire suppression and prevention
• Emergency medical services and first aid
• Vehicle accident response and rescue operations
• Hazardous material incident response
• Water rescue operations
• Storm damage and emergency weather response
• Public safety education and community outreach
• Fire safety inspections and code compliance assistance

Our firefighters and emergency medical technicians undergo rigorous training to ensure they are prepared for any situation. We regularly participate in continuing education programs, attend specialized training seminars, and conduct hands-on drills to maintain our skills at the highest level. This commitment to excellence means that when you call us, you can trust that help is coming from highly qualified professionals who know how to handle emergencies safely and effectively.

State-of-the-Art Equipment and Facilities

Our fire station on East Summit Street houses modern fire apparatus and emergency equipment that allows us to respond quickly and effectively to all types of emergencies. We maintain and regularly update our fleet of fire trucks, rescue vehicles, and specialized equipment to ensure we can meet the evolving needs of our community. From advanced hydraulic rescue tools for vehicle extractions to the latest in firefighting technology, we invest in the equipment our firefighters need to do their jobs safely and successfully.

Our facility also serves as a community gathering place, hosting public events, safety education programs, and serving as an emergency shelter when needed. We believe that a strong fire company is one that is deeply integrated into the community it serves, and our doors are always open to residents who want to learn more about fire safety or explore opportunities to get involved with our organization.

Community Education and Prevention

While emergency response is our most visible role, we are equally committed to fire prevention and public safety education. We firmly believe that the best emergency is the one that never happens, which is why we dedicate significant time and resources to educational programs throughout the year.

Our firefighters regularly visit local schools to teach children about fire safety, including proper evacuation procedures, the importance of smoke detectors, and how to call for help in an emergency. We also provide educational programs for adults, covering topics such as home fire safety, emergency preparedness, and proper use of fire extinguishers.

During Fire Prevention Week and throughout the year, we offer free home safety inspections and smoke detector installations for residents who need them. These proactive services help identify potential hazards before they become dangerous situations, protecting families and reducing the likelihood of preventable fires.

Volunteer Opportunities and Community Involvement

The strength of Mohnton Fire Company lies in our volunteers. We are always seeking dedicated individuals who want to make a difference in their community. Whether you are interested in becoming a firefighter, emergency medical technician, or supporting our efforts in other ways, there is a place for you in our organization.

We provide comprehensive training for all new volunteers, regardless of their previous experience. Many of our most skilled and respected members joined us with no prior firefighting or emergency medical experience, and we take pride in developing their skills and helping them become confident, capable emergency responders.

Beyond emergency response, volunteers can contribute in many ways, including fundraising, equipment maintenance, administrative support, public education, and community event planning. Every contribution, no matter how large or small, helps us better serve our community.

Fundraising and Community Support

These events also provide opportunities for residents to meet our firefighters and learn more about the services we provide.
