When there is a fire on State owned land, or a "Brush Fire" call gets large enough a Wildland Forestry Crew may be called to support other local departments. The Hopewell Wildland Forestry Crew is made up of members of Geigertown Fire Company, Birdsboro-Union Fire Department and Monocacy Fire Company. The crews sometimes work independently of each other or may be called as one unit to respond to a larger incident. They frequently get called to Mount Penn and Neversink Mountain in Reading and sometimes travel further. Geigertown Fire Company boasts 15 members of the 30+ member roster. All members have the S-130 and S-190 Wildland training that the larger crews who fight fires out west recieve.
