History
A decision was made to form a third Fire Company in Washington Township. Several men met in the basement of the Washington Township Swim Club in the month of August, 1962
The first Fire Truck was a 1941 open-cab Diamond T, delivered Red in color, purchased for the sum of two hundred dollars from the Greenfield’s Fire Company and housed at Scott’s Barn, located at the Black Horse Pike and Gantown Road where the Commerce Bank now stands. Later the Diamond T was painted Robin’s Egg Blue. Fifteen to twenty men were alerted by a phone chain in the course of a fire. The second Fire Truck, a 1949 open cab Ward Lafrance was purchased from the Berlin Fire Company for the cost of Five Hundred Dollars, was also Red in color and painted Blue.
