We’re proud to serve as the first line of defense and support for our neighbors in Brighton Township and beyond. Whether you’re here to learn about our services, volunteer opportunities, fire safety tips, or our proud history, we’re glad you stopped by.

Brighton Township is a rapidly growing suburban community located about 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, nestled in the heart of Beaver County. As the area continues to grow, so does our commitment to protecting lives, property, and the well-being of our residents.

The Brighton Township Volunteer Fire Department operates three strategically located fire stations that serve over 20 square miles of township territory. Our dedicated firefighters respond to a wide range of emergencies—fire suppression, emergency medical services, rescue operations, and more. We also proudly provide mutual aid to neighboring municipalities and vehicle rescue assistance to four surrounding communities, ensuring a network of safety and preparedness across the region.

With over 75 years of service behind us, we combine time-honored tradition with modern equipment and rigorous training to meet today’s challenges. Every call we answer is a reflection of our commitment to service, safety, and community.

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to learn more about the Brighton Township Fire Department (BTFD). With a proud tradition rooted in service and innovation, our department has evolved to meet the growing and changing needs of our community. What began as a volunteer-driven organization has transformed into a modern, responsive, and professional fire service.

In June 2018, we advanced our capabilities by becoming a combination fire department—blending the dedication of our volunteers with the added strength of career staff. This transition included the addition of three full-time firefighters and sixteen part-time firefighters who not only provide consistent station coverage but also support our operations through administrative assistance and on-call response.

To enhance our readiness and reduce response times, we’ve implemented structured paid on-call and station staffing plans. These improvements help ensure that highly trained personnel are available around the clock to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies throughout Brighton Township and the surrounding areas.

Our commitment is simple but unwavering: to provide the highest level of emergency service—fire suppression, rescue, and medical aid—to every resident and visitor in need. We take pride in our professionalism, our training, and our connection to the community we serve.

If you’re interested in becoming part of a dynamic and growing team dedicated to public safety, we encourage you to visit our Recruitment Page and download an application. Whether you’re considering volunteer or part-time service, your skills and passion can make a meaningful difference.

We appreciate your continued support and confidence in the Brighton Township Fire Department. We are always here – ready to serve, protect, and respond.
