Heading to pump primers next weekend? Stop on out and see us at the event as we will have equipment for sale and merchandise! We will have scba’s, red and blue lights, old fire extinguishers, old fire hose and more for sale! All proceeds will go towards our station upgrades!
This afternoon, several members got together to continue painting the interior of the firehouse. If you see the bay doors open, stop on in and check out the updates.
This evening, 6 of our members continued with firehouse renovations. Our members will be busy the next couple of months with these renovations and soon the station will look completely different.
We are exactly a month away from our 2nd cornhole tournament! Be sure to mark your calendars and come hang out with us!

🔥Engine 301 Runs 2 Alarm Job🔥
This afternoon around 1500 hrs, engine 301 was dispatched for a transfer to city station 2 while city units worked a row home fire on the hill. Prior to going responding to the transfer, city command upgraded to the 2nd alarm bringing the engine to the scene. Engine 301 crew assisted with fire attack and extensive overhaul in 2 effected buildings. Engine 301 remained on scene for about 3 hours before clearing the scene.
Special thanks to Shiremanstown Fire Department for covering our first due and helping our members get the engine back in service!

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.
