The Borough of Pottstown has four volunteer fire companies with each station having career firefighters for faster response to emergencies. Each station is responsible for its own operation and maintenance. The Borough gives each station a yearly contribution for operational expenses. The four companies are under the operational command of the Borough Fire Chief / Fire Marshal.

You can reach the Fire Chief/Marshal by calling: 610-970-6525

Many residents are not aware that certain work must be inspected by the Fire Marshall upon completion, you will need to fill out the Fire Marshall Application (PDF). For much of this work you will need a permit as required by the Borough.

Pottstown's Fire Company's have an active Fire Police unit to assist on the scene of fires, accidents, and other incidents. Fire Police, as a specialized unit, are somewhat unique. Special Fire Police units exist in only a few states in the U.S. (CT, MA, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, WV) and in only a few other countries in the world (i.e. New Zealand and Japan).

This group is an important piece of our overall safety in Pottstown. To learn more about the Fire Police, CLICK HERE.
