Improved Fire Services for the RTFD and Geistown Fire Co.
A press conference was held at 1321 Scalp Ave (Fire Headquarters) today to offically announce the merger between the Richland Township Fire Department and the Geistown Fire Company. This merger now brings these two departments into a single entity, The Richland Township Fire Department. Nine years ago, the RTFD was the first department in Cambria County to merge with the Solomon Run Fire Department, then with the Belmont Fire Department. The two organizations will begin implementing an integration plan immediately, starting with identifying the Lamberd Ave. firehouse as Staion 3-3 and restructuring the RTFD and Geistown Boro’s first due assignments to work together as one complete department. We would like to thank everyone who was involved on making this long and needed merge between the two departments. Check back for additional news as it occurs.
