From pics that ive seen its generally collingswood,cherry hill,woodlyne. Also philly has a mutual aid agreement with the city.
 
I THINK EVESHAM TOWNSHIP GOES INTO CAMDEN AS WELL....... TOP NOTCH DEPT (1/2PAID  1/2 VOLLEY)
 
Philly has a mutual aid agreement, but only in the event of a disaster. On the 12th alarm, Philly didnt send anything - on the 8th alarm the next night, they sent a fireboat and pipeline (Engine w/ more LDH) to set up a water supply. Resources on the higher alarms (3+) come from the County. Often an alarm is made up of a specific taskforce, for example during the 12 alarm fire, im sure the 6th alarm was a taskforce of 6 trucks.
