Freedom Volunteer Fire Department, Station 27 is a 100% volunteer fire department located within the borough of Freedom.  Established in 1904, Station 27 provides fire and rescue protection for the borough's 1,600 residents.

The purpose of this website is to educate the public, whom we protect, about the various aspects of the services we provide to the population. We are firm believers that through the teaching of fire prevention we can save lives by educating our citizens about avoiding potential fire hazards and what to do in the unfortunate case they find themselves involved in a fire or other type of emergency situation.  Thank you for taking time out of your day to visit our site and remember to always support your local volunteer fire department!
