HUGE NEWS FOR BENSALEM!

We are proud to announce that Bensalem Fire Department has received a $4 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT secured with the support of Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick to help build a NEW combination fire station serving both our career and volunteer firefighters!

This historic investment is a major step forward for public safety in Bensalem. The new facility will strengthen our emergency response capabilities, improve coordination between our career and volunteer firefighters, and provide our first responders with the resources and facilities they need to protect our community.

This is more than a new fire station — it’s an investment in our firefighters, in our community, and in the safety of everyone who lives, works, and visits Bensalem.

We thank Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick for his support and commitment to bringing federal resources back to Bensalem Township.
