The Citizens Hose Co. No. 5 of Lock Haven was organized in February, 1909. The first meeting of the Company was held in March of that year; the company moving into the Lock Haven Fire Dept. following the disbandment of the Old Good Will Hose Company by City Council in consequence of an infraction of the City Ordinance. The physical inheritance of the Company when it took over in February in 1909 w

as a two-story, frame, combination stable and horse carriage room. The equipment was a horse-drawn hose reel owned by the City with 1,000 to 1,500 ft. of standard 2 1/2" hose. The sentiment of Lock Haven's citizens was not unanimously in favor of the new group. Shortly after getting started, the Company had a fire break out in the partitions in the Carriage Room; and before it was extinguished, the Meeting Room furnishings were badly damaged. However, insurance paid for the loss but could not insure against the inconvenience caused. name was suggested but the late C. Rothrock, who argued that the membership was composed of Lock Haven citizens and was serving the citizens of this area. His resolution was adopted unanimously. The Company was incorporated in 1912; the details of the incorporation being handled but the late Judge Henry Hipple, at that time a member of the Clinton County Bar. The brick building no occupied by the Company was erected in 1928 and altered and repaired in 1957. The first response to a fire alarm was answered by the infant company at about 7:15 am on April 13, 1909. The fire was at the Bricker Libery Stable located in the alley just east of where the Clinton Electrical Company was located. The rookies were jubilant over the fact that they were the first on the scene and had first water on the lively blaze. The Citizens Hose Company always putting their concern for the people of Lock Haven first, have progressed from a horse-drawn hose wagon in 1909 to an Ahrens Fox Pumper in 1932, a 1948 Seagraves 1000 GPM Pumper, and then a 1971 CF Mack Maxidine Diesel 1250 GPM Pumper. The first elected officers of the company were F.L. Fox, President; F.E. Ritter, Vice-President; J.T. Devling, Recording Secretary; Earl N. Harnish, Financial Secretary; I.A. Shaffer, Jr., Treasurer; Adam C. Dickey, Foreman; F.E. Schell, First Assistant Foreman; H.B. Otway, Second Assistant Foreman. Trustee's were P.P. Griffin, C.T. Rothrock, and F.B. Gibson. C.A.Shaffer was the first Custodian of the Company.

Tonight as your driving by you may notice the LED lights outside the bays have been changed from red to blue this is because we are praying for 12-year-old Xavier Taylor who was struck in the neck by a baseball during warmups at a field in Maple Shade, New Jersey. He collapsed and has remained unresponsive ever since. Xavier has been on life support at Cooper University Hospital in Camden since May 26.

His father, Greg, who is a retired firefighter, was on the field when the accident happened and has been a constant source of hope for his son. He has told crowds and supporters that Xavier loves this game and will play baseball again.

Tragically, the latest medical update has brought devastating news. Doctors have confirmed there is no brain activity. The family is now wrestling with the painful reality of what comes next, including the possibility of organ donation. Greg and his loved ones are currently in the hospital, facing one of the hardest moments of their lives while continuing to hold onto faith.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends who have been affected by this devastating tragedy. We hope for the best to come out of this situation.

Over the weekend 10 members travelled to Neptune Fire Company to Staff their trucks while their members were committed to a fundraising event. Members started Friday evening with dinner then traveled around the area in the Squad and Engine before handing a med local in the boro.

Saturday morning members started off with breakfast at Grace United Church of Christ. Before heading over to the training center where members trained on VES, Downed FF situations, Forcible Entry, and Searches of the building of a smoked out structure. Members then traveled to the Carnival Grounds where the event was being held to grab some lunch. To end the evening members sat of the front apron watching the storm blow through with a tornado touching down less than 4 miles away.

We want to send a huge thank you to Neptune Fire Company for the great hospitality and making sure we were well taken care of as always. We look forward to continuing to build our relationship with our brothers and sisters in Lebanon County.
