“Committed to serving our community,” is the motto all of us at Thorndale Volunteer Fire Company continue to strive for. Despite what your emergency is, our group of dedicated volunteer responders drop what they are doing to render aide. Yes, that's right we are all volunteer which means we receive no compensation for responding to the emergency. We all have jobs outside of the Thorndale Volunteer Fire Company or are students at local high schools and colleges. We have families that we spend time with and at a moment’s notice our pager can go off to respond to whatever emergency you have.

For the month of November we are pleased to honor Al Cunningham with being our Featured Member. We cannot begin to thank not only our featured member but all of our members for their outstanding efforts in protecting the residents, business owners, and visitors of Caln Township. Please join us in thanking all of our members in their hard work and dedication to not only the Thorndale Volunteer Fire Company but to the community.
