West Bradford Fire Company
Founded in 1953, West Bradford Fire Company (WBFC) is an all-volunteer crew dedicated to rescue and fire prevention education in West Bradford, East Bradford and Newlin Townships. The approximate 45 member crew responds to nearly 400 incidents per year. Since 1976, WBFC has been the primary benefactor of the Marshalton Triathlon proceeds. These proceeds help defray operational costs and provide financial assistance to members who suffer misfortunes as a result of volunteering. The Marshalton Triathlon is the primary fundraising effort for the West Bradford Fire Company. (Learn more)
Marshallton Conservation Trust
The Marshallton Conservation Trust (MCT) is a non-profit, community organization formed in 2009 to preserve the history, quality of life, and sense of place of the Village of Marshallton and its surrounding communities. MCT’s primary areas of focus include open space conservation, advocating for issues of community concern, and promoting the history and culture of the Village to connect the past with future generations. Over the last several years the Marshallton Conservation Trust has played a much more active role in the organization and promotion of the Triathlon which has helped insure the continuation of this very important event.
The approach to achieving our mission can be best understood as consisting of four broad elements:
- To steward and preserve Marshallton’s history and culture.
- To create a local community forum to address mutual concerns.
- To facilitate educational and social opportunities among residents.
- To protect and improve the quality of life, safety, health and environment within both the Village boundaries and the surrounding countryside.
