| A new fire department, formed from the coming merger of the West Grove and Avondale Fire Companies, launched an informational website today which can be found at www.sccfr.org . The new fire department will be known as Southern Chester County Fire Rescue. The transition is expected to be completed, with full operations beginning as a unified department, on January 1, 2027.
The new website will cover news about the merger, and includes pages that answer common questions about the merger, and a map of the fire district. New Facebook and Instagram pages were also launched along with the new website.
The websites of the West Grove and Avondale Fire Companies will remain live this year and will be the place where emergency incident news and fire prevention topics will be covered. In the meantime, AFC and WGFC will continue operating independently throughout 2026 while working more closely together in preparation for full integration. |
