Malvern Fire Company is a volunteer community organization which protects the community of Malvern Borough and a portion of Willistown Township and East Whiteland Township. Established in February of 1888 as the Malvern Free Will Fire Company, the organization has provided continuous fire and rescue service to residents and businesses in its coverage area. We are a valued member of our community and an example of volunteerism at its best - local community members who work together to benefit their fellow neighbors.

Mission Statement:

        The Mission of the Malvern Fire Company is to protect the Life and Property of those in distress and to increase the quality of life within the community through education, prevention and public service.

        Malvern Fire Company can not exist without the support of the community that it serves. We are proud of our members who serve to protect our community and would welcome your participation, as a volunteer or as a valued contributor.

The Founding of the Company:

        With the smokestacks of the Pennsylvania Railroad trains triggering fires along the tracks through Malvern and the occasional house and business fires, residents of the Village of Malvern, then the northern-most part of Willistown Township, began to talk of fire protection in the 1880’s. Fires either were put out by bucket brigades or smothering, or left to burn out.

        The Malvern Free Will Fire Company was established February 8, 1888, by about 50 citizens of the village.
