Looking for a way to give back to your community? Look no further! We’re sure most of you have heard by now on the news or other media outlets, that there is a shortage of volunteer firefighters across the country. Even if running into burning buildings doesn’t seem like your thing, we could always use members to help with fundraisers, administrative work and so much more! Stop by our training nights the 1st & 4th Sunday (2-5) along with the 2nd & 3rd Wednesday (6-9) of the month for more information!
Busy evening for our volunteers. Engine 30 handled an alarm while on a transfer assignment in Harrisburg City. While clearing the alarm, engine 30 and engine 33 (Colonial Park Fire Co. #1) were dispatched for an alarm in the 1st due. Engine 33 arrived confirming burnt food and units cleared.
Right now company 30 and mutual aid companies are handling a reported building fire in the 1st due.
Enjoyed celebrating Citizens Fire Co. #1 (Penbrook Borough) new fire engine dedication Saturday. I’m thankful for the efforts of all our first responders, particularly on days with a storm like today’s. Stay safe, everyone!

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.
