to the new Swarthmore Fire and Protective Association website. We are a group of volunteers who serve the community of Swarthmore Borough and the surrounding communities through our fire department and EMS, responding to over 500 emergency calls per year. The company began serving the borough in 1894 and was incorporated in 1908.

	The company has recieved the delivery of its new ambulance. See pictures of it here

For the year 2007 the company ran 226 fire calls and 789 ambulance calls.

... that 2008 marks the centennial of the fire company's incorporation?

... that Swarthmore is quite possibly the only borough in the county to have a fire horn instead of an aerial siren as a way to notify its members of a fire call?

... that the Swarthmore fire company is one of the few to be referred to as a "Fire and Protective Association"? Concordville is one other company.
