Willow Grove Volunteer Fire Company
Address:
4355 Davisville Rd.
Willow Grove, Pa. 19090

The mission of the Willow Grove Volunteer Fire Company of Upper Moreland Township is to minimize the impact of fires, disasters and other emergency incidents on the life or property of our citizens and guests. Our business is community safety and dedication to continuous improvement.
To this mission we are committed.
The vision of the Willow Grove Volunteer Fire Company is to be known by the people of Upper Moreland Township for responsively serving the public with excellence, courage and pride.
The buildings that housed the Willow Grove Fire Company, Lodge Hall, Bowling Alleys and Club, shown to the left, were located on the east side of York Road opposite Cherry Street from 1906 to 1924.
Historic accounts mention the existence of a Fire Company in Willow Grove as early as 1854. Also, one of the first hand drawn maps dated 1857 notes a "Fire Engine" located near what is now the intersection of Easton and York Road, near the Ehrenpfort Block. But little is known about this group, and it must have been disbanded by the turn of the century, because after a destructive fire on November 21, 1906, a group of citizens recognized the need for a fire company and held several organizational meetings at the Knights of Columbus Hall, near York Road and Cherry Street.
