Fire Station 5 is located at Route 38 and Church Rd, and covers the north-western portion of Cherry Hill Township. Squrt 1351 is the sole responding fire apparatus from this station, but sometimes shares the station with Ambulance unit A1395 at times of high call volume, usually during the holiday season. SQ1351 protects the residents from the various neighborhoods of Cherry Hill Estates, Colwick, Woodland, Columbia Lakes, Kenilworth, and the many mid- to high-rise apartment buildings along Route 38 and Cooper Landing, as well. From two high schools and several other secondary schools, to multiple places of worship, restaurants, shopping centers and strip stores, major office buildings and major manufacturing facility in Keystone Industries, this company handles a wide variety of incidents.

Route 38 intersects the entire local, with major thoroughfares Haddonfield Rd, Church Rd, Chapel Ave, and Cooper Landing Rd, enabling the company a quick response to any area, even with its location on the edge of town.

SQ1351 not only responds to incidents within Cherry Hill, but provides Mutual Aid for major incidents in Pennsauken, Maple Shade, Mount Laurel, Haddonfield, and Camden City.

A Little History...
Fire Station 5 was originally built in 1926 by both the Church Road Fire Company and Church Road Civic Association. The building, in fact, houses not only the responding fire company, but to this day is adjoined with the Civic Hall. It got a much needed renovation in the 1950s to accomodate the larger responding apparatus of the day needed to handle the exploding Cherry Hill population and the increased call volume that comes with it.
