Emergency Services

The Twin Valley Fire Company, a volunteer company, has primary responsibility for coverage within Elverson and nearby areas. For several years, the Borough has earmarked funds to support the Fire Company. The Fire Company is provided back-up assistance through mutual-aid agreements with neighboring companies, coordinated by the County dispatcher. For any structure fire, there is assured back-up and the availability of specialists. Water for fire-fighting purposes is provided by public hydrants within the current service area of the Elverson Water Company, augmented by tanker trucks, and available surface streams and ponds. Available flow and residual water pressure provided by the water company meet accepted standards for fire protection.
