Currently a few members are working on tracing the history of the Meshoppen Fire Dept. Hopefully after searching through old department documents and the contents of the first known firehouse in town we will learn more about our history.
We did find out some very interesting things about the history of the Meshoppen Fire Dept. At one time there were two fire departments in Meshoppen Boro. "Defender Hose" was located where the old fire house stands today, "Relay Hook and Ladder" was located somewhere in the area of Canal St. We still have the hose cart from Defender Hose Co. from the 1900s. Also, where the old fire house stands today is a concrete block that reads "19 DEFENDER HOSE 03". These are just a few of the highlights found on our search for some history.
More information and photos will follow. Any information is greatly appreciated please contact admin@meshoppenfire.com.
