The West Chester Fire Department is an active participant in the Butler County Regional Hazmat team, Butler County Technical Rescue Team, and Butler County Incident Management Team.
On April 27, 2022 representatives from each element participated in the annual Local Emergency Planning Committee's exercise. The exercise involved a train derailment with a hazmat leak. Events similar to this require many agencies to coordinate efforts to ensure the public's safety.
The quick response of a well-trained, well-equipped professional fire department contributes to better overall quality of life while helping reduce insurance rates for those who live and operate businesses in West Chester Township. Crews responded to more than 7,000 total fire & EMS calls for service in 2021, a 16.6% increase from the previous year.
