We honor this commitment to 24/7 safety by strongly supporting the in-township presence of our own community police department, three volunteer fire organizations (Fogelsville Volunteer Fire Co., Goodwill/Trexlertown Fire Co., Upper Macungie Township Station 56) and the region’s leading Emergency Medical Services provider (Cetronia Ambulance Corps).
