Today we primarily provide vehicle extrication and emergency medical responders. We operate three department vehicles including one heavy rescue unit, one extrication unit, and one medical unit. We respond to over 300 emergencies yearly. We are funded primarily by donations from Chester County residents and sponsorships from local businesses.
