Editing West York, Pennsylvania (section)

==Fire department and EMS==

Fire protection for the borough is provided by the West York Fire Department (WYFD), which is administered by the borough and staffed by borough-paid fire Drivers.   The drivers operate the borough-owned apparatus, which consists of one E-One ladder truck and one E-One engine.  The drivers are also cross-trained as a codes-enforcement officers and inspect and enforce the borough's building and housing codes.  They also inspect and issue occupancy licenses for all rental units and businesses. The paid drivers are members of the [[International Brotherhood of Teamsters]] and are represented by Local 776.

The Reliance Fire Company, established in 1904, is a separate entity, which is an all-volunteer fire company.  The volunteer firefighters ride on and use the borough-owned apparatus, but they are not permitted to operate the equipment.   The fire company owns and operates one Ford F250 (RITT) utility truck and one Chevrolet Tahoe as the duty-officer vehicle. The WYFD and Reliance Fire Company operate from the same facility.

EMS coverage in West York is provided by First Capital EMS Station 5–1, formerly known as West York Ambulance before its merger with York Regional EMS and Grantley Fire & EMS
