Cherry Hill Fire Department
The Cherry Hill Fire Department serves as the first level of protection for fire and life safety emergencies in our community. We provide a wide range of services and continue to expand our capability in training and equipping our field forces. The citizens place a significant amount of trust in our ability to perform when called upon and need to have the highest confidence in our skill. Our adopted culture of readiness is the key to maintaining the consistent level of performance we must deliver. In addition, every member of the organization is responsible for the efficient use of the public funds that support our Department. The fiscal picture today is vastly different from just 5 years ago. The reality of this change for the Cherry Hill Fire Department is an ongoing evolution of the services we provide, and the methods we use to provide the service. Accepting the reality that we will complete fewer tasks with fewer hands is difficult, but realistic. The real test going forward will be the organization’s ability to adapt in a productive and healthy manner. The leadership within the CHFD is committed to serving our residents with the same level of dedication and resolve as we always have—you can count on us!
