This included training in hazardous materials, exterior firefighting, interior firefighting, and First Aid/CPR.

As of November 16, 2018, Berwyn is one of only 39 organizations in the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at the Gold or 100% level in the Pennsylvania Office of the State Fire Commissioner Participating Department Recognition Program.
