Last night shortly after 2200 hours, engine 301 was dispatched to transfer to city station 2 while they worked a duplex fire on Swatara Street. The engine responded with 6 members and shortly after arriving to the transfer, engine 301 was requested to the scene along with engine 37-1. Engine 301 crew assisted with fire attack and overhaul.
This morning shortly after 0330 hrs, engine 301 was once again dispatched to transfer to station 2 while city units worked another fire on 15th street. While members were responding to the station for the transfer, command struck the 3rd alarm bringing the engine to the scene. Engine 301 crew assisted with extensive overhaul.

About Us
Citizens Fire Company #1 of Penbrook was organized on March 29, 1906. This organization came about from a group of public-spirited citizens, who at this time recognized the vital need for fire protection for Penbrook. The first equipment of the fire company were two hand drawn chemical wagons. These were housed in a barn as there were no fire houses available for apparatus. The fire company currently operates a 2004 American LaFrance engine and a 1996 Freightliner/Darley Air Unit.
Penbrook Borough is roughly a 1.5 square mile area that borders Harrisburg City and Susquehanna Township. Penbrook Fire Company averages between 200-400 calls a year with around 30 of them being confirmed working fires. Penbrook Fire relies on its dedicated volunteers to answer calls for help, attend fundraisers, station maintenance, and other public events. We are a 100% Volunteer organization that always accepts new applications for membership. The fire company also runs mutual aid to Harrisburg City, Susquehanna Township, Paxtang Borough, Swatara Township, Lower Paxton Township, South Hanover Township and East Hanover Township.
