Colonial Park - Paxtonia - Linglestown

The Lower Paxton Township Bureau of Fire provides fire protection, rescue, and life safety services to all citizens in Lower Paxton Township. Under the direction of the Township’s Public Safety Director and Deputy Fire Chief, three volunteer fire companies operate under the umbrella of the Bureau of Fire in order to provide our community with a full range of firefighting and rescue services. The Colonial Park, Paxtonia, and Linglestown Fire Companies each are designated a specific response area within the township; however, they collectively respond to emergencies throughout the Township and on a mutual aid basis to surrounding municipalities.
