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.

 

Burn Awareness Week

Feb. 7-13 is Burn Awareness Week, and during this week, Shriners Hospitals for Children® will kick-off a campaign focused on preventing gasoline-related and scald burn injuries. Burn injuries are among the most disfiguring and potentially serious bodily injuries.  Scald burns, which are caused by hot liquids, steam or foods, are the most common burn injury among young children and the leading cause of accidental death in the home for children under age 4. Many people do not fully understand the dangers of gasoline. Gasoline is highly volatile – the fumes are capable of ignition from several feet away. Reckless use and improper storage of gasoline lead to thousands of young children and teens being burned every year. The highest at-risk group for gasoline and other flammable substance burns are kids age 13 and older. A Web site has been developed for the campaign at www.burnawarenessweek.org.

 

 

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.
