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
