REMINDER: THE KPVFC FIREFIGHTER REUNION IS THIS SATURDAY AUGUST 28TH, 2010 FROM 1500-2300


 

Help Us, Help You

It’s imperative that you keep house numbers visible from the street so that in the event of an emergency, Fire, EMS and Police personnel can find your residence quickly and easily..  This winter, make sure snow and ice do not block the numbers from view. Please give us a hand if there is a hydrant in front of your house and take a moment to clear out the snow.  Saving us those precious minutes in the event of an emergency could save lives.

 

NATURAL GAS SAFETY

If you have natural gas in your home, always be alert for any leaks.  If you smell gas or hear a leaky gas connection, immediately leave the house, then call 9-1-1 from a neighbor’s phone or a cell phone.  Keep all doors and windows closed when you leave the house; this will allow the fire company to better locate the source of the leak. Never strike a match or use a lighter; any spark or flame can create an explosion.  Have the gas system repaired and checked by a professional representative from the utility company before turning the gas back on.

 

Welcome to KPVFC...

 

King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company proudly protects 30,000 people living in an area of 15 square miles. We operate out of 2 stations that protect a primarily commercial area. Our department is a public department whose members are on a volunteer status. We have an ISO rating of 5.

Founded in 1950, the King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company currently operates as an all-volunteer fire department out of two stations. Our fleet consists of ten pieces of apparatus which are housed on Allendale Road (Station A), and Biedler Road (Station B).

Fire apparatus is bought by the municipality that also provides a portion of the operating budget. However, the funds to build and maintain facilities and thus, the majority of operating expenses are generated from the community at large, by the volunteer firefighters, a ladies auxiliary and an excellent supporting team of active and social members.

The King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company is committed to providing the most effective and efficient fire and rescue protection.  Our volunteers are a true valuable asset to Upper Merion Township community.
