While COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted in many states, including Pennsylvania, the COVID-19 Pandemic is NOT over! There are still growing cases in Pennsylvania and over 30 US States have rising rates, some rapidly with hospitals filling up! In parts of the world the health care systems are being overrun similar to what was happening here in the first few weeks. Remember while a person may feel and look fine they may be an asymptomatic carrier. So please be careful!
Probably the most famous asymptomatic carrier is Mary Mallon "Typhoid Mary".

Interesting Statistics

There are currently 1,514 volunteer fire fighters in Chester County.

Five years ago, we had 1,591.

Ten years ago, we had 1,664.

Fifteen years ago, we had 1,831.

This shows a DECREASE of roughly 17% of our volunteer base over the last 15 years.

Studies done in the PA State Senate estimate that to replace ALL PA Volunteer Fire/Rescue/EMS would cost taxpayers ~$7,000,000,000 to $9,000,000,000!!
