Welcome to Cherryhill Township Volunteer Fire Company

At the Cherryhill Township Volunteer Fire Company we recognize every individual has talents that can benefit the fire company and strengthen our community. We offer a variety of memberships that enable our members to contribute to our cause and maintain their ability to meet family, work, and other personal obligations.
In addition to firefighting, we are involved in various community service projects and fundraising activities. We have administrative tasks to complete, buildings that need maintained, computer databases that need updated, food that needs prepared for various functions. Whatever your talent, we can use your expertise to strengthen our organization.
To ease the stress some may feel about joining the fire company, we have assigned executive and fire officers to provide a no obligation orientation for citizens wanting to learn more about joining.
