Today marks 10 years of service for the Western Berks Fire Department. On August 8th 2009, the department was placed in service as Company 18. The WBFD was made up of four departments; Sinking Spring, Wernersville, Fritztown (South Heidelberg Twp.), and Lower Heidelberg Twp. Ten years later we still continue to serve these municipalities and protect over 18,000 residents, in over 32 square miles.

Thank you to the past and present members who have helped bring the department to where it is today. ... See MoreSee Less
