Fire Services Under Review

According to Commissioner/Fire Committee Chairman Frank Murphy, all aspects of fire protection delivery and funding are currently under review.

“The township is actively engaged with both fire companies to discuss the future of fire service in Aston Township.

“The Fire Committee has met with members of both Aston Beechwood and Green Ridge Volunteer Fire Co. to discuss various issues facing the township’s fire safety programs, including consolidation or merger and studying various task forces,” Murphy recently reported.
