In the fall of 1948, a group of twelve men got together in a meeting and decided that it was time to organize and establish a Fire Company in Upper Pottsgrove Township.

Articles of Incorporation were drawn up and the Company was officially chartered in 1949.

By this time at least twenty men were interested and we held our meetings in garages, grocery stores and finally with permission of the school board, we held our meetings in the School Buildings.

Our meetings were usually punctuated with a few "Hot" arguments by well-meaning groups of individuals, but one by one, our problems were resolved to the satisfaction of the majority.

In October, 18 1948 the ladies auxiliary was organized.

In 1950 we purchased the present fire company ground from Howard Bealer, plans were drawn up and argument's made and before the year was out, we were firmly established in our new building.

In 1971 a building committee was appointed that turned out to be a sensible, live wire group and they spent a lot of time in meetings and finally after a lot of arguments pro and con, they presented the plans to the fire company meeting. consequently, our new addition to the building was erected.

In 2004, due to a disagreement between the township officials and the fire company, we were shut down for one year; until a group of determined individuals had it reopened.


In 2005 Upper Pottsgrove Township Fire Company #1 was reopened with only a few left from the original Fire Company. The company has begun with recruiting and has been growing since.

In 2008 we plan to make our fire company one of the best....

Please remember, that our Township Fire Company would not exist without the hard work of the men and women that worked to make our Township Fire Company it is. We at Upper Pottsgrove thank all of the Past members that put there sweat and hard work into this. For our future..... there is a lot to come.
