About

In March of 1934 members of the Spring Mount Athletic Association and members of the Lower Frederick Township decided that the township lacked and needed fire protection. With a lot of hard work the Lower Frederick Fire Company was organized in November of 1936. The first pumper was purchased in October of 1937 for $728.00. It was a Hale 250 GPM Pump on a 1937 Chevrolet chassis and was housed in the first station on Main Street in Spring Mount.

In 1989, it was unfortunately time to refurbish, or replace the 1949 American La France Ladder Truck. At that time the idea of refurbishing the ladder truck would have been extremely costly, likewise the cost of a new truck. The company was in a dilemma at this time. Finally, a used ladder truck was purchased from the Wissihicken Fire Co., in Ambler, as a replacement. This truck needed some work, but was in good shape. Again after many dollars and lots of patience, our 1965 Hahn 100' Ladder Truck was Housed on May 5, 1990.
