FIRE DIVISION

Coverage area: Stewartstown Borough, Cross Roads Borough, Hopewell Township, East Hopewell Township. Over 10,500 citizens and over 52 square miles. Our area is mostly residential with commercial mixed in. We're
 

Professionally staffed by 100% volunteer firefighters. There are currently over 35 active members in our Fire Division, many of which are nationally certified as Firefighter I or higher. Most of our members are also certified as PA Department of Health Vehicle Rescue Technicians, EMT's, or Emergency Responders.We operate out of two stations. House #1 is located at 82 North Main St in Stewartstown Borough and House #2 is located at the East Hopewell Township building on Hickory Road. Our apparatus consists of: (1) rescue-engine, (2) engines, (1) tanker, (1) aerial truck, (2) brush trucks, (1) command buggy and (1) traffic unit (fire police). We responded to roughly 423 calls in 2011 and we average 12 members per call. Our members put in over 5,000 hours alone in attending calls and training sessions in 2011. Many more hours are spent on fund raisers, public education sessions, committee meetings and so on. This is like having a 2nd full time job for many of our members!

We provide mutual aid to our neighboring communities when called upon. We also welcome their assistance when we need additional resources. We run mutual aid calls into northern Harford and Baltimore Counties in Maryland and all of south central York County.
Eureka has proudly served the area since 1906 and we will continue to protect and serve for many years to come. Eureka's bravest are ready and willing to answer any call that comes in. We train hard so that every firefighter goes home safe.
