Be smart and be safe.

We cannot stress this enough: PLEASE stay OFF the roads.
Conditions remain hazardous, and we are seeing preventable incidents.

CHESTER RESIDENTS: Please attend the Township Council meeting tomorrow, Tue Jan 6 @ 7:00 pm, 1 Parker Road, to voice your questions or concerns to the Council about Atlantic Health and CFAS EMS coverage.

We would like to thank Chester Borough Mayor Janet Hoven and the Borough Council for their continued support of the Chester First Aid Squad and for helping to clarify recent questions surrounding EMS coverage in Chester.

There has been understandable confusion following Chester Township’s decision to implement 24/7 EMS coverage with Atlantic Health for Township calls. We appreciate the Borough’s clear statement confirming that there is no change to EMS services for Chester Borough residents, and that the Borough’s long-standing relationship with CFAS remains in place.

For 80 years, CFAS has been proud to serve ALL residents of the Chesters. We are grateful for the Borough’s transparency, support of volunteer emergency services, and recognition of the dedication of our community’s first responders.

For those seeking additional clarity, we encourage residents to read the Borough’s full statement here: https://chesterborough.org/ (Scroll to bottom of Home Page, Mayor's Corner)

Chester Township residents with questions regarding Atlantic Health EMS coverage and billing practices should contact the Chester Township Mayor’s Office.

Thank you to our community, our volunteers, and Chester Borough leaders for their continued trust and support.

Chester Borough leaf collection has ended effective December 01, 2025. Please do not place any additional leaves to the curb at this time. Watch the website for spring cleanup dates in April 2026.

Thank you to the residents of Chester for the overwhelming support you have shown the Chester First Aid Squad during recent events. Your messages, calls, social media comments and encouragement mean more to our volunteers than we can adequately express.

We understand there is much confusion following the Mayor’s letter concerning Atlantic Health System’s billing of residents. Questions regarding Atlantic Health System’s contract, operations, or billing practices are not within the Squad’s control and should be directed to the Office of the Mayor of Chester Township.

As always, we remain focused on our mission: serving our community with compassion, professionalism, and dedication. We will stay connected with the community and provide updates as things continue to develop.
