Mondays are for training, and that’s just what our members did. Last night, the crew set up rigging and re-familiarized themselves with low angle rescues. While this is not something our Members do often in the field, it is a skill that we don’t want to be caught forgetting how to do. Plus, the weather was beautiful and what an excuse to be outside.

If you would like to be apart of our Monday drills as well as serve the community, go to our website (www.collegevillefire.org) and fill out an application. You can also stop by on Monday nights or when we post our duty crews to ask questions and meet the Members.

07/20/2025

It is always a great day when we can make a post about adding new members to our roster. We would like to welcome:
Paul Causey
Patty Brisbane
Dylan Kuklinski
Aiden Kuklinski

Paul will be an active firefighter; Patty will join our admin staff; and Dylan and Aiden will join our cadet program.

Would you like to join these four as well as our current staff at making a difference in the lives of our Community? We offer free training at our Firehouse and will pay for your Firefighter 1 certification! If you’re interested, see our webpage for an application and other information.

🎆 🎇Happy Fourth of July 🎇🎆

The Members of the Collegeville Fire Company would like to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Fourth of July! If you go to any parades today, make sure you are well hydrated and protected from the Sun (that would be the bright orange ball in the sky we haven’t seen much of this summer). And who could forget grilling and celebrating afterwards? Unless you would like a couple hungry firefighters showing up, make sure you keep your grills and other cooking instruments well away from your house and garage. And please, leave the fireworks to the professionals. If you choose to use sparklers, make sure you soak them in water before you throw them away.

07/03/2025

Tonight members are in station for duty crew night until 10:00 pm.

Chief Engineer Anthony Cerino
Assistant Chief Craig Penuel
Firefighter David Antell
Firefighter Rob Montalbano

Firefighter Gwen Penuel

Feel free to stop by for a visit!

🚨🚨ATTENTION🚨🚨

With the upcoming 4th of July, many will be tempted by the allure of setting off fireworks and putting on grand (or not so grand) displays in their backyards. We implore you not to do so, especially in the Borough. Did you know that most occupied structures are within 150 feet in town? While we may be a fun sponge for telling you these things, we truly care about everyone’s safety. This year, leave it to the professionals to set up and put on the spectacular displays while you enjoy them with friends and family.
