Our Fire Prevention Open House held annually is a big hit loaded with learning and family fun.

voted to have the fire chief investigate the purchase of a new tank truck. In February, a tank truck had been ordered from the Memphis Equipment Corporation.

By 1961, the panel truck donated by the Ladies Auxiliary was beginning to wear out and another service truck was needed. A vote was made to trade the truck for a new Chevy Step Van. Also, it was decided to replace the Reo and F. W. D. which were rapidly becoming obsolete. In 1964, a new 1963 John Bean pumper was purchased.

These purchases made the engine room entirely too crowded. In 1970, the company decided to expand the engine house again. In November, they bought the lot next to the building with the hope of using it to enlarge the engine room. Since the Reo was no longer needed, it was sold to Benjamin Ford.

In September of 1971, a committee was formed to find a new tank truck to replace the old G. M. C. On January 10, 1972, a milk truck from M. L. Lentz, a 1963 Ford, was purchased to convert into a tanker. The Ladies Auxiliary assisted the fire company in paying for the truck.

Later that year, on September 27, 1972, disaster struck again when an explosion and fire of suspicious origin began in the engine room. An attempt was made to remove the equipment, but it became trapped inside by two I-beams that had collapsed on top. The New Freedom Fire Company and others arrived quickly to assist Shrewsbury, but the engine room and its contents were a complete loss. Fortunately, the hall was saved.

Working quickly, the fire company obtained a new F. M. C. by that evening. The community, other firefighters, and the Ladies Auxiliary were all very gracious with gifts of equipment. Littlestown Fire Company loaned a 1946 American LaFrance pumper and Parkville Fire Company donated a 1953 G.M.C. tank truck. Many fire companies, organizations, businesses, and individuals donated money to rebuild the engine room and get the fire company back on its feet.

Not only did the engine room require replacement, but the destroyed trucks had to be replaced as well. The company decided to replace the van that burned in the fire with a new rescue truck. Once again, the Ladies Auxiliary helped the fire company by purchasing the new rescue truck. This help could not have come at a better time considering the financial burden of the company.

On June 8, 1974, the company rededicated the new engine house "In Grateful Memory to the men and women from the community who served in the armed forces of the United States in any wars". The new engine house was considerably larger than its predecessor.

That same year, a new F.M.C was ordered and arrived in the fall. As the call volume began to increase, a John Bean High Pressure attack truck was ordered in 1978. The G.M.C. was sold and the LaFrance was returned to Littlestown. In 1981, the fire company purchased their last F.M.C. Also, that year, they broke new ground by being one of the first companies to buy a Hurst Hydraulic rescue tool. In 1992, both 1970's F.M.C.'s were replaced with a Spartan/EEI engine. The Dodge Attack Truck was replaced by a Ford brush truck in 1994. In 1994, the 1981 F.M.C. was replaced with another Spartan/EEI engine.

In 2001, the 1994 Ford brush truck was replaced by a 2001 Ford F-450. The company salvaged the pump, tank and hose trays for use in the new brush truck.

The Southern Regional Police Department donated a used, Ford police cruiser, to the department which served as the duty officer car until 2006 when it was replaced by a 2007 Ford Expedition.

In 2004, the company took delivery a Spartan/Kenco Heavy Rescue Truck, dubbed "Squadzilla”. At a length of forty feet and with enough space for auto, confined space, trench, rope, structural collapse and water rescue equipment, "Squadzilla" embodies the rescue culture of the Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company.

This new equipment is state of the art and is a far cry from the hand drawn equipment and the 1932 Reo. This transition from the hand carts to the modern equipment that the company has today would not be possible without the hard work of its past and present members, the Ladies Auxiliary, other fire companies, and the Southern York County community as a whole. With their continued help, the Shrewsbury Fire Company will continue to provide fire and rescue services to the residents of the area.

The Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company has served the citizens of southern York County with fire and rescue services for over 70 years. This was possible only through the hard work and dedication of its members, the Ladies Auxiliary and the community as a whole. It was through this hard work and dedication that the Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company has grown and developed from its humble roots to what it is today.

Prior to the formation of the fire company, Shrewsbury Borough handled fire fighting operations. After incorporation in 1834, the borough council saw a need for fire protection. They purchased a hand cart, built in 1780, called the "Dart".

The Borough took further steps to provide fire protection in 1876, when Chief Burgess appointed a fire committee to maintain the engine and oversee fire operations. On September 30, 1878, the committee had the "Dart" greased, packed and installed a metallic box on to hold water. The same month, five men were appointed as the town firemen.

In 1880, after a fire in the engine house, lot on Forest Avenue was obtained as a location to build a new engine house. It was also decided to purchase an additional handcart from Laurel Fire Company in York. This new handcart was dubbed the "Laurel".

It was not until the 1930's that steps were taken to form a fire company. A meeting was held by citizens to discuss the importance of forming a fire company and four officers were elected to oversee the formation. A decision was made to begin selling memberships for $1.00 to join and $1.00 per year thereafter.

On May 25, 1931, the company discussed the purchase of an engine. A picnic was held to raise money to buy an engine and pay the various bills of the fledgling fire company. The picnic was the forerunner of what is now the fire company's annual carnival. That November, the company purchased two chemical engines.

On November 3, 1933, a vote to purchase the fire company's first engine, Buffalo Fire Apparatus's 1932 Reo with a 500 gallon capacity tank, was unanimous.

On November 13, 1933, the company was officially organized and the officers were elected, and on March 26, 1934, a Fireman's Relief fund was begun with the Fireman's Relief Association of Pennsylvania.

Since the engine house built in 1880 was barely large enough to house the Reo, the company began to consider building a new engine house and purchased a carriage house for this purpose.

By this time, the "Dart" and the "Laurel" had been moved to a barn for storage but in the early 1940's, both carts were lost when the barn was destroyed by fire.

On April 1, 1946, the Shrewsbury Fire Company lowered the age requirement for membership from twenty-one years of age to eighteen and later that year, the fire company once again began to consider building a new engine house. It was not until August of 1948 that excavation begun at a recently acquired property. In March of 1949, the decision was made to dedicate the completed building to WWI and WWII veterans. On the Saturday after the dedication, August 1, 1949 a fire broke out in the bathrooms of the hall causing $1000 in damage.

Having completed the new engine house, the fire company began to consider purchasing another fire engine. In October 1952, the Ladies Auxiliary graciously donated a panel service truck. The following November, the company placed an order for a F.W.D., model 75T engine with a 500 gallon booster tank, two booster reels, closed cab and heater. Within a year, the company had expanded from a single engine company to having three pieces of apparatus.

On December 8, 1958, the company
