Fire Companies
East Cocalico Township is proudly served by dedicated volunteer firefighters operating from three fire stations strategically located throughout the Township:
- Stevens Fire Company

Together, these fire companies provide essential fire protection and emergency response services to our residents, businesses, and visitors 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Our volunteer firefighters respond to a wide variety of emergencies, including structure and vehicle fires, motor vehicle accidents, rescues, hazardous conditions, severe weather incidents, and other calls for assistance. In addition to emergency response, members dedicate countless hours to training, maintaining equipment and apparatus, fire prevention activities, and community events.

Cocalico Area Fire Department
Cocalico Area Fire Department serves East Cocalico Township and the surrounding community from two locations — Station 1 in Reamstown and Station 2 in Smokestown. The department was formed through the merger of Reamstown Fire Company No. 1 and Smokestown Fire Company No. 1, with its founding meeting held in June 2025. Today, its dedicated volunteers continue the proud legacies of both fire companies while providing fire protection and emergency response services to the community.
Supporting Our Volunteer Firefighters
The commitment of our local firefighters goes far beyond answering emergency calls. These dedicated men and women volunteer their time to train, prepare, and respond whenever our community needs them.
While their time is volunteered, providing modern and reliable fire protection requires significant resources. Fire apparatus, protective gear, specialized equipment, training, station operations, and ongoing maintenance all carry substantial costs.
Community support plays an important role in keeping our local fire companies prepared and ready to respond.
Please consider making a voluntary contribution to support our local volunteer fire companies and the vital services they provide to East Cocalico Township.
When an emergency happens, our volunteers are there for us. Your support helps make sure they have the resources they need to be there.
