History and Information

The station, located at 780 Woodlane Road, was built by the volunteer members in 1978 as part of a two station municipal fire department. Since then our department has taken on a completely different image and structure. We are now a single station department providing an expanded mission to our community and those around us. The facility has had small renovations to continue for the growth that we have expereienced. 

As the township continued to grow and call volume increased, it was time for another change. Career staffing was now needed to staff the apparatus. WTES is a combination (career/volunteer) Fire/Rescue/EMS Department made up of a career (1) Chief, (3) Lieutenants, (11) full time personnel, (10) per diem personnel, (1) part time and (10) volunteers. The members respond to a variety of incidents including: fires, medical emergencies, vehicle extrications and hazardous materials responses.

Westampton is a suburban community of 12 square miles with over 8,500 residents. Our township is zoned approximately 60% residential and 40% commercial/industrial.
