Upper Merion Township Fire & EMS

==Department Overview==
In 2022, three fire companies serving Upper Merion Township were re-organized into a single entity. The King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company (Station 47), Swedeland Volunteer Fire Company (Station 48) and Swedesburg Volunteer Fire Company (Station 49) fire companies were functionally organized under single command. Additionally, the Lafayette Ambulance & Rescue Squad which had been turned over to the Township the year before became part of the new department.The new department is known as the Upper Merion Township Fire & EMS (Station 56). 
As part of the reorganization, the Township entered into a partnership to build a new station on Guthrie Road to serve the Village of Valley Forge and other parts of the Township. The new, seven-story building will merge a storage facility operated by Cubesmart and a new fire station with emergency medical services. The structure was designed to have 98,650 square feet of storage space over six floors and 10,689 square feet on the ground floor that are dedicated to the fire and EMS station. King of Prussia to be home to unique combo of firehouse and storage facility. Montco.today. May 31, 2019. Accessed Jul. 27, 2022.
