Since 1922, The Castle Shannon V.F.D has provided the Castle Shannon Borough with fire protection service.

In 1993, the Castle Shannon V.F.D. merged with Baldwin Township's Rolling Hills V.F.D. and now provides fire protection to both neighboring communities.

Our fire department is 100 % volunteer and depends on the support of the residents and businesses of Baldwin Township and the Borough of Castle Shannon through donations and fundraisers along with local government financial funding support to continue providing this vital service.

Our members are part of a family that values compassionate service, respectful behavior, strong character, diversity, dependability, and integrity. We will be visibly present in our community and are accountable for our actions and our core values in every interaction.

We embrace moral character, integrity, and ethical behavior in all our actions and will be guided by fundamental fairness in everything we do.

Showing empathy helps us know how our actions affect others, what actions we need to take to be a good teammate, and it helps us understand more about the citizens we serve. We believe in helping.

We will respect each member of our team, our partners, the citizens we serve, and all persons we interact with by recognizing the diversity in each individual and their individual talents, skills, and contributions to our success.
