{MU} The Millersville University campus occupies about one-quarter of the Borough's land area. Set on 245 acres of land, the campus includes 10 residence halls and three dining areas set in two residential complexes, and 60 other campus buildings, most of which lie between these two complexes. These other buildings include two gymnasiums, a library, a health center, a student center, several instructional buildings, and a number of administration buildings.

Within Millersville Borough there is one community park and two other community recreation facilities. The 21-acre Millersville Borough Community Park is located off Blue Rock Road at the northern end of the Borough. This park includes a wide range of recreation amenities and improvements, including playing fields and courts, playgrounds, picnic facilities, and a perimeter walking path.

Two Penn Manor School District buildings are located within the Borough's land area: Penn Manor High School and Eshleman Elementary School.

Millersville Borough is very fortunate to have a wide variety of civic, fraternal service, religious, and other community organizations which provide Borough residents with various human service needs. These organizations contribute significantly to the quality of life of Borough residents.

Police protection in Millersville Borough is provided on a 24-hour basis by the Borough's own police department.  The department currently has 12 officers which include a Police Chief, two patrol sergeants, seven full-time patrol officers, one sergeant assigned to criminal investigations and a school resource officer.

Fire protection is provided by the Blue Rock Fire Rescue.  In 2008 with the help of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development a committee was formed to study the feasibility and practicality of merging West Lancaster Fire Company, Millersville Fire Company, Highville Fire Company and Goodwill Fire Company of Washington Boro into one entirely new organization. Because Millersville Fire Company serves Millersville Borough as well as Manor Township, borough representatives were invited to join the effort. This committee was known as the Emergency Services Task Force and included one representative from each fire company, one citizen representative from each of the fire company service areas, two representatives from each municipality and one citizen at large.

The four existing fire stations will remain where they are presently located. The West Lancaster fire house will be known as the north house or House 901. The Highville station will be known as the south house or House 903. The Millersville Station will be known as the east house or House 905. And the Washington Boro station will be known as the west house or House 907. Blue Rock Fire Rescue has been designated as Company 90 by Lancaster County Wide Communications.

The name Blue Rock Fire Rescue was selected from entries submitted by members of the four companies. Blue Rock Road runs through Millersville Borough and Manor Township. The member who proposed the name chose Blue Rock as the basis of the name because is a part of the long history of the two municipalities and the four fire companies.

The Company maintains a roster of 135 active volunteers, which is presently sufficient to meet its needs. Forty-seven of these volunteers are firefighters.

Ambulance service within Millersville Borough is provided on a 24-hour basis by the private Lancaster Emergency Medical Services Association, which also serves the Millersville University campus, most of Manor Township, the western portion of Lancaster Township, and the southwest section of Lancaster City.
