Merry Christmas from Bart Township Fire Company!

12/23/20 At 11:49 pm, Engine 51-2 was dispatched for a dwelling fire, as well as Quarryville and other mutual aid, assisting Strasburg FC Station 5. Chief 5 arrived to find a 2 1/2 story farmhouse with fire showing from the 2nd floor and attic. Chief 5 then upgraded to a 2nd alarm which added Engine 51-1 and Tanker 51. Engine 51-2 arrived and laid 1000ft of supply line and placed multiple hand lines in service and also supplied Truck 5 with water. Tanker 51 supplied water and... Engine 51-1 sent their manpower into the scene. 51 units worked on scene for about 2 hours before being released. Crews then had to clean up all hose and equipment. This was done just in time for many of our members to head to work. Our prayers are with the families affected by this fire so close to Christmas.

Engine 51-1 is currently on a relocate assignment at Gap Fire Company Station 42 while they operate on a structure fire in their first due.

Happy Thanksgiving from Bart Township Fire Company!

Annual Christmas Craft Show - CANCELLED. This was not an easy decision, but it is what’s best for the health and safety of the community and our first responders. We look forward to 2021!

Check out this awesome video from Glick Fire Equipment Company about the fabrication work they did on Engine 51-1! We are extremely pleased with the fantastic work they did mounting all of our tools and equipment in an organized, secured and very accessible manner. Engine 51-1 will serve the Bart Township Fire Company and our community very well for many years!

After being placed into service last Wednesday night by Fire Chief Randy Hershey, Engine 51-1 ran its first two calls today within two hours of each other. The first two calls were a small rescue incident on Belmont Road in Paradise Township, and a diesel fuel spill on the roadway at Valley and White Oak Roads in Sadsbury Township.
