BERWYN, PA - On Saturday, September 27th, the Berwyn Fire Company officially dedicated the new fire/EMS station at 23 Bridge Avenue in the Village of Berwyn.
After 95 years in the old firehouse, Berwyn Fire Company, in conjunction with the Board of Supervisors from Tredyffrin & Easttown Townships, is proud to announce the completion of this critical project that will serve the Tredyffrin-Easttown community for decades to come.
The project was financed by funds generated by the Berwyn Fire Company, donations from the Tredyffrin-Easttown community, tax dollars from both Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships, State grant funds and Federal grant funds. The total cost of the construction, including soft costs, was $10,500,000 for the 20,000 sq. ft. building.
The station features 4 apparatus bays for fire trucks and ambulances, along with increased sleeping quarters and bathrooms for career staff and volunteers. An emergency operations center can also be operated from the station to coordinate emergency responses during significant weather events and other disasters at the local level between Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships. And most importantly, the station now has the proper safeguards in place to reduce carcinogen exposure.
Township officials, state representatives, project engineers, architects, construction supervisors, and other dignitaries attended the ceremony. A short parade down Bridge Avenue kicked off the ceremony, followed by the building dedication and apparatus housing ceremony.
The Berwyn Fire Company sends a shout out to our fire/EMS partners in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties that served as housing companies. These organizations play a critical role in supporting the response of the Berwyn Fire Company in the Tredyffrin-Easttown community. |
