The Wagontown Fire Company was established May 19, 1947.  The original fire house was one room building built in 1948. The firehouse was located on Wagontown Road south of Kings Highway to the rear of the current station.  The original officers of the Wagontown Volunteer Fire Company included:  President Earl Smith;  Vice President Fred Wallace;  2nd Vice President Charles Robinson;  Recording Secretary Alexander Ward;  Finance Secretary Charles Rodgers;  Treasurer Fred Oberholser;  Chaplain Rev. Richard Bunting;  Trustees Chlyde Criswell, Harry Jacobs, and George Dunlap Sr.;  Fire Chief Ben Shrack.  Then in 1956 the members constructed Wagontown's second firehouse which is pictured below along Rt. 340 or West Kings Highway which has served us up until 2007 when the new firehouse was completed.

1956-2007

The fire company then  moved to our second firehouse (above) in 1956 which was located right on Route 340 and was considered a modern facility for that era.

2007 - PRESENT

In 2007 our current facility was complete on the property directly to the east.  This modern facility was dedicated on September 22, 2007 on which we also celebrated our 60th Anniversary.

Today the Wagontown Fire Company provides the following services out of the new state of the art fire station. We provide fire suppression services, Vehicle and Technical Rescue, Water Rescue, Wildland Firefighting and now with our partnership with the Westwood Fire Company EMS we provide a BLS Ambulance that covers the two townships.

2015 has brought a new chapter in the history of the company, Wagontown received a brand new Tac truck that was purchased with the help of the Assistance to Firefighters grant made possible by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  Tac 35 was brought to light by a truck committee whose job was to replace the aging 1967 Dodge with another new brush truck that would serve the company for years to come.

The 2015 Ford F350 was purchased through 10-8 EVS of New Holland, it features a 250 GPM Pump, 250 Gallon Tank, a full compartment Utility body by Knapheide which allows for safer tool carrying abilities. The four door cab allows for more firefighters to ride to the scene in a belted seated position.  The truck was designed to last for a while and provide a higher level of service to the community. 

2019 Saw the replacement of the Military 6X6 known as the "Duece" with a 2019 Freightliner Summit Tanker. Tanker 35 has a 3,000 gallon tank with a 1,000 GPM pump and carries a decent hose load and tools to carry out the mission of providing a water source for firefighting applications.  This tanker was obtained through an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from FEMA along with the help of West Caln and West Brandywine Township Supervisors.
