ETVFD Presents Fire Station Plan to Township Supervisors |

We appreciate the ongoing support from the Exeter Community for the new fire station project and our operations. On Monday, September 25, 2023, the Exeter Township Volunteer Fire Department, at the request of the Exeter Township Supervisors, presented a conceptual plan for a new centrally located fire station. The new facility is proposed to be centrally located in Exeter Township, provide 24/7/365 fire protection, and will last for the next 50+ years. The Exeter Township Supervisors originally approved the new fire station concept in May 1994. The proposed project went dormant for many years, but the concept was once again presented to the board of supervisors in early 2012. The supervisors at the time were very receptive to the idea and moved forward with a public forum in April 2012. Unfortunately, no action was taken. Discussions continued the following years with multiple concepts at the existing Exeter Township Building site. Over the next few years, the discussion shifted to the Old Promenade location for the centralized township site for all township entities. This discussion gained traction; however, Exeter Township is now in the process of selling that property. In 2023, we are back to discussing the original location at the K-9 training center across the street from the Exeter Township Building. The renderings in the presentation are conceptual and this current program shows a combined fire and EMS facility. If there are any questions, about this project, please email inquiry@exetertwpfire25.com. #ETVFD25 |
