We would like everyone to enjoy the official end of summer this weekend. Hopefully mother nature also got the memo and we will cool off sooner than later. As you enjoy the your long weekend activities, please be aware that everything is drying out and fire risk is increasing steadily. Whether it is work or play, take a minute to consider the "what if" along with the "then what". Alexandria Twp along with Tongi Twp assisted Union Twp Fire with a small grass/field fire. Work or play, please keep your situational awareness and be careful out there. Be safe

This truck doesn’t respond on its own. It takes people who care about their community.

Behind every apparatus is a team of dedicated volunteers who give their time, train hard, and answer the call when our community needs help.

Emergency response vehicles need drivers and operators: people dedicated enough to give their time when the call comes: people who understand that it cannot always be "someone else's job" or "I am too busy".

We’re always looking for men and women who want to make a difference. No experience is necessary—we provide the training. No required/set schedule, you respond when you can.

If you’ve ever considered becoming a volunteer firefighter, send us a message and see how you can be part of the team.

Folks, summer has decided to return! It is hot, it is dry, and we have a week and a half before we get out of the 90 plus degree temps with more than a 10% chance of rain. These are our brush trucks and the tender in the background. We would really prefer to not visit your property with them. If you would like to see the trucks, please give us a call and we will be more than happy to give you a tour at the station. Please be extra careful with fire and potential ignition sources for the next couple weeks. Thank you - ATFD

Alexandria Township Fire Dept and Easton Township Fire Department conducted joint training on water drafting and relay pumping. Joint training facilitates cooperation and interoperability between adjacent/supporting departments. It also allows department members to familiarize themselves with apparatus from our mutual aid fire departments. Great job today everyone, and thank you to all who participated!
