We are here to Serve the Community and are Committed to Excellence.

The Lower Swatara Fire Department is 100% volunteer. Our members spend countless hours training in house and at local training facilities. They provide a vital part of public safety not just to Lower Swatara but to neighboring areas as well. We are always ready to respond to your emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We take pride in knowing our community is safe all day, every day.
