We are always looking for volunteers to help us.

Firefighting is a special skill, but our crew will help you get the necessary training. We especially are interested in Junior Fire Fighters to continue our Community tradition.  In addition, we always need help with our dinners and catering and other administrative duties. You don’t even have to be an active member to help with these events. Even though it is hard work sometimes, we always have fun and we are helping the surrounding communities.

For information about joining our firefighters, or to lend a hand with any of our social activities, please email us at lisburncommunityfirecoinfo@comcast.net or call 766-3994 to set up an interview to learn what we do and how you can fit into our organization. Save your local Fire Department by volunteering before it is too late

The officers and members of the fire company would like to send out a really big THANK YOU  to employees of Member’s 1^st that helped us during a re-scheduled United Way Day of Caring Event.  We accomplished a lot of projects on Friday, September 30^th that had been on our list for years!  Check out our pictures of the completed projects on our Facebook page. 

On Saturday September 24^th, 2011 Lisburn Community Fire Company and Lower Allen Fire Company #1 hosted our first annual gun raffle drawing.  The event was well attended and there was plenty of food to go around.  The officers and members of both companies would like the thank the community for their support of this fundraising activity.  Not only did this even allow funds to be raised for both companies, it also helped to bolster the working relationship between the two companies.  Winners were able to chose either the gun or cash option as their prize.  Please see the list below for the winners from this years event.

Around 3:00 Tuesday morning, Tanker 24 was dispatched to assist Wellsville Fire Company with a structure fire on Lisburn Road in Warrington Township.  While the crews were reporting to the station, Engine 24 was also requested for the assignment.  Tanker 24 responded with a crew of 2 and Engine 24 responded with a crew of 5.  Upon the arrival of Engine 24, Command 66 requested that the engine crew set up a fill site at Pinchot Lake to fill tankers.  The engine crew operated at the lake until 5:00 am when released by Command 66.  Tanker 24 was placed available upon arrival at the scene and returned to quarters.

 

Over the past few days, Company 24 has responded to a multitude of car fires.  The first call was an early morning car fire in Lewisberry Borough on March 31^st to assist the Lewisberry Community Fire Company (YC Co. 29).  Tanker 24 responded with two personnel and supplied Engine 29.  The second call was in the afternoon of the same day, to assist the Farview Township Fire Department (YC Co. 68) for a truck on fire in a hay field.  Tanker 24 responded with three personnel and staged nearby the scene.  The pick up was quite a distance off the road and brush trucks were needed to be used to extinguish the fire.  The third call was for a truck fire in a field also in Fairview Township on April 3^rd.  Both Engine 24 and Tanker 24 responded with a total of 6 personnel.   Engine 24 arrived on scene and proceeded to extinguish the truck fire, while Tanker 24 set up to supply the Engine.

   

 

First thing Thursday morning, former Engine 24 was taken to be loaded on a tractor trailer to be taken to its new home.  In 2009, the Grumman was replaced by a 2010 KME Predator as the front line engine.  The Grumman was sold to Valley Springs Fire Department located in Valley Springs, Arkansas.  The members of Company 24 hope that the Grumman will serve the Valley Springs Fire Department as well as it did for Lisburn for 27 years as the front line engine.  Special thanks to Groff Equipment on the Carlisle Pike for allowing us to use their loading dock.

   

Early Thursday evening, Tanker 24 was dispatched as part of a 2nd alarm structure assignment to the 300 block of Mt. Allen Drive.  The tanker responded with a crew of 2 and assisted Upper Allen Fire Department (CC Co. 23) on the scene until released by Command 23.  An additional crew of 6 manned Engine 24 to cover Lower Allen Township for any additional calls due to units from Lower Allen Fire Company (CC Co. 12) also responding on the 2nd alarm assignment.  Company 24 would like to express its condolences to the family and friends of those involved.  More information and photos can be found at the following link:

On Saturday, members from Lisburn and surrounding departments participated in the practical portion of the Basic Vehicle Rescue Operations course.  This course builds on the skills taught during Awareness and adds additional skills.  Firefighters and first responders learn how to gain access to a patient within a vehicle and how to extricate them quickly and carefully.

Special thanks to Instructors Rickenbach, Fogg, and Gribble for teaching the class.  Also thanks to Lower Allen Fire Co. No. 1 for providing Squad 12, Washington Fire Company for providing Rescue 28; Allen's Auto Inc. and Wintermyer Auto Salvage for providing the cars

On Tuesday afternoon, Tanker 24 was dispatched to assist Strinestown Community Fire Company (YC Co. 26) with a large mulch pile fire.  Tanker 24 responded with a crew of two and operated on scene until 9:30 pm.  The tanker hauled at least 18 loads of water to the dump site at the mulch facility in addition to the many loads hauled by the other tankers on the scene.
