Chief's Message

Welcome Message From Chief Farnsworth

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Westampton Township Emergency Services website. We hope that this website will give an overview of your fire department’s activities and accomplishments.

Our Firefighter/EMT’s are made up of full-time, part time, per-diem, and volunteer employees, responded over 4,100 calls for service each year. The majority of our calls for service are emergency medical services (EMS) related (approx.72%), followed by fire incidents (approx. 19%) the remainder are motor vehicle collision related calls (9%).

The calls we receive for service are extremely important to our personnel and to the entire community of Westampton Township. Each call for help represents someone from our community experiencing an unexpected, and most times unfortunate, incident requiring them to call for our emergency services for help. Our Firefighter/EMT’s truly understand the pain and loss that is often associated with an incident that requires our services. With that, our personnel strive to provide the utmost compassion, empathy and support necessary to all those with emergency situations each and every day.

We continue to serve you through incident response, community education, fire inspections and fire prevention. I would like to thank the community for the sustained support given to the department. I am grateful to be a part of such a dedicated group of individuals who work each day to protect the lives and property within Westampton Township, its' citizens and visitors. Each day I see their commitment to provide a valuable service to our area and achieve our mission. It is truly an honor to be a part of this organization and this community.

If at any time you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me at (609) 267-2041 ext. 201 or at cfarnsworth@wtes.us.

Respectfully,

Craig Farnsworth

Fire/EMS Chief
