Welcome to the Official Website for the East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department
The East Allen Township Fire Department is committed to safeguarding the lives and properties of approximately 5,000 residents across our expansive 14.7 square mile area. Operating from a single station, we proudly serve a primarily residential community. As a public department, our dedicated members volunteer their time and expertise to ensure the safety and well-being of our neighbors.
However, to continue fulfilling our mission effectively, we are actively seeking new members, regardless of gender. If you're considering joining our ranks or simply curious about our operations, we invite you to reach out to us at (610)-262-6700. If we're unable to answer, feel free to leave a voice message, or better yet, drop by our station any Monday evening or Saturday morning. Rest assured, there's no obligation for members to participate in every activity; we value your contribution, no matter how big or small.
Come be a part of our dedicated team and make a meaningful difference in our community. Together, we can ensure the safety and security of East Allen Township for generations to come.

A reminder to the businesses of East Allen Township
The East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department is in the process of checking all Knox Boxes. This is being done to make sure the keys work, and to update the emergency contact information. We are finding many businesses have changed the building keys or locks rendering the emergency key(s) in the Knox Box useless.
- Are the keys in your Knox Box up to date?
- Have you changed the keys or locks?
- If so, the keys in the box must be updated as well.
Township ordinance 2003-4 requires that most businesses and some apartment buildings install and maintain lock boxes. It also requires that the keys be current. If you need to update any of the keys in your Knox Box or if you have any questions, please email knoxbox@eastallenfire.org to make arrangements.
Thanks!
