Abington Fire Company

Abington Fire Company Fire company serving Abington Township, Pennsylvania Three days later, the fire company was founded.

In 1889 the people of Abington decided at a town meeting to form a fire company - the first in the township. The first firehouse was built on Old York Road across from what is now Abington Memorial Hospital. The company's first truck was a horse drawn cart manufactured by the local blacksmiths of Winder and Lightcap for the price of $125.00. The trucks accessories, including ladders, buckets and a

xes, were bought for an additional $425.00. Today the fire company is located on Horace Ave adjacent to the Abington Township Municipal Building and the Police Department. Fire engines that used to cost $400 dollars now cost $500,000.00 but the dedication and pride of our members is as strong as it was in 1889.
