Your Community.
Your First Aid Squad.
For more than 80 years, the Chester First Aid Squad has proudly provided free, volunteer-based emergency medical services to Chester Township, Chester Borough and surrounding communities.
Founded in 1945, CFAS is built on neighbors helping neighbors—delivering skilled, compassionate care when it matters most. Our volunteers respond with one goal: to be there when our community needs us.
With Gratitude to Our Community
The Chester First Aid Squad is deeply grateful for the incredible support shown by our community in recent months. From residents displaying signs of encouragement to those who have spoken on our behalf at town meetings, and the many kinds words shared in letters and in person, your support means more to us than we can express.
Thank you for standing with us. Your voices, your presence, and your belief in our mission strengthen our commitment to serve Chester with the highest level of care. We are truly appreciative and we look forward to continuing this partnership with the community we are proud to serve.
