Masontown Borough Fire Department
Since 1942, the Masontown Volunteer Fire Department has been protecting your community. This protection is provided 24x7/365 days a year. In the last five years alone, we have been there for our neighbors over one thousand times when called on for structure fires, field fires, emergency medical assists, Life Flight landing zones, and numerous civic requests for street cleaning, traffic control, basement flooding and community events. This has added up to tens of thousands of man-hours in training, fund raising, fixing and maintaining equipment, meetings and answering alarms.
Your Fire Department presently operates two pumpers, one rescue vehicle, and one quick response/brush fire truck, all equipment needed to answer most alarms and safety turnout gear for all firefighters.
Since 9/11, we find our services in greater demand and new equipment for our changing roles and for the protection of those risking their lives for you is constantly changing and becoming more expensive everyday. We provide these services to you on a voluntary basis, and for this we ask in return that you be as generous as possible and support your Fire Department through our fund raising events, annual funds solicitation drive and at our weekly Bingo. Help us help you for many more years to come!
Early birds start at 6:45 p.m.
Regular games start at 7:00 p.m
