Volunteer Fire Department
|
The Sharpsburg Volunteer Fire Department is
located next to the Borough Building, 1611 Main Street. Though its
organization and structure have changed throughout the years, fire service in
Sharpsburg has been around since 1871. When the Pennsylvania Railroad ran
through the middle of the town in the early and middle 20th century, there
had to be two fire companies, one on each side of the tracks. In 1974 the
Fire Department purchased the property where the Fire Station is currently
located (next to the Borough Building) and became incorporated as a
non-profit organization the next year. |

In 1993 the borough’s Administrative Offices
and Police Department moved into the luxurious Fire Departments Banquet
Hall. Council Chambers is located in
the area where the stage and dance floor once existed. Now existing locker
room and holding cell at the police station are where the banquet hall kitchen
was. We have been told that many
lovely wedding was held here! Today, the Fire Department is operated by a group of
dedicated, hard-working volunteer fire fighters. The Fire Chief is elected by
those within the Fire Department who proudly serve the residents of
Sharpsburg. Please click here to visit the Sharpsburg

Chief: Lou Costanzo For Emergencies, Call 911! |
