The Orchard Park Fire Company
was incorporated in the year 1883 by a group of local men to
serve the Hamlet of Orchard Park and the Town of East Hamburg.
In those years the Company consisted of nothing more than a ladder
and a bucket brigade. It was not until the very early 1900's
that the company acquired an old frame building on East Quaker
Street to become the first fire station.
Just before World War I the first piece of apparatus
was purchased by the company. It was a horse drawn wagon with a
motorized rotary water pump. A few years later a chemical truck
was placed in service.
Since that period the Fire Company was evolved
into one of the most highly trained and well equipped fire units
in the area.
The Orchard Park Fire Company now comprises nearly
100 active firefighters and six pieces of aparatus. housed in two
upto date fire stations.
The Ordhard Park Fire Company meets on the first
Tuesday of each month. All correspondence can be forwarded to P.O.
Box 1140, Orchard Park, NY 14127-1140
