King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company proudly protects 30,000 people living in an area of 15 square miles. We operate out of 2 stations that protect a primarily commercial area. Our department is a public department whose members are on a volunteer status. We have an ISO rating of 5.

Founded in 1950, the King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company currently operates as an all-volunteer fire department out of two stations. Our fleet consists of ten pieces of apparatus which are housed on Allendale Road (Station A), and Biedler Road (Station B).

Fire apparatus is bought by the municipality that also provides a portion of the operating budget. However, the funds to build and maintain facilities and thus, the majority of operating expenses are generated from the community at large, by the volunteer firefighters, a ladies auxiliary and an excellent supporting team of active and social members.

The King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company, its Social Hall team and The Ladies Auxiliary are extremely proud of our "million-dollar" Main Station on Allendale Road that is sprinklered, detectored and alarmed.

The community adopted a comprehensive sprinkler ordinance in the 1980's with the intent to control fires to small incidents; which, in turn, would reduce firefighting demands and help sustain the volunteer fire forces. Today, we have hundreds of sprinklered single-family homes in addition to apartments, commercial and industrial facilities.

The King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company takes pride in its dedicated members and contributors.
