Tredyffrin supervisors approved an inter-municipality agreement between Tredyffrin and Easttown townships that will see the construction of a new fire station, which will combine fire and EMS services. “This is the culmination of two years of work to fund and move forward with Easttown to ensure our residents are delivered the highest quality of emergency services,” William F. Martin, Tredyffrin’s township manager, said. Easttown supervisors approved the agreement on Nov. 20. The agreement is meant to help deal with local fire companies and emergency medical responders being stretched too thin by a combination of increased call volume and declining numbers of volunteers. The new fire station at 23 Bridge St., is estimated to cost $9 million, with Easttown contributing $2.1 million, Tredyffrin contributing $4.9 million and the fire department getting a $2 million state grant. When complete, the station will be owned by the townships and leased to the fire company.
