The primary mission of the Mountain Top Fire Company is to provide comprehensive emergency services aimed at safeguarding the lives and property of those within our designated response area in Rush Township. Our focus is on fire suppression, rescue operations, and emergency medical services (EMS), ensuring the safety and well-being of the community we serve.

As a secondary mission, we extend these services to any neighboring community or agency upon request, reinforcing our commitment to mutual aid and regional support.

We are proud to be recognized as Centre County Station 13. Our service area is largely rural, including Pennsylvania State Game Lands #33 and #60, which cover a total of 21,900 acres.
