Our Story

Our Story

In 1891 several towns-people saw the need to have organized fire protection.  Numerous meetings took place and in December 1894, the American Fire Company #1 of Lansford was chartered and housed on Patterson Street, where our current station is located. The station housed a hand drawn manual pumper.  In 1906 the Borough Hall shared the premise with the fire department, and the equipment was upgraded to a horse drawn steam engine.  In the early 1900's, the volunteers of the fire company raised enough funds to purchase a motorized steam engine, a 1916 Ahrens Fox.  Over the years, the fire department fleet expanded to include 2 engines, 1 ladder truck, 1 rescue and a brush unit.  Presently our department operates with a 1992 E-ONE quint (ladder and engine combined), a Pierce 1993 Rescue/Pumper, a 2005 KME Engine, 1 brush truck, 1 utility vehicle and an emergency services unit.
