Who We Are

On October 4, 1953 a group of Strinestown residents scheduled a meeting at 7:30 PM at the Strinestown School to discuss the need and formation of a fire company in Strinestown. The story goes that the organizers of the meeting were patiently waiting for the local residents to attend to show their desire to form a fire company, but the time had come and no one showed up. They decided to wait a while, and their wait paid off. Just shortly after 7:40 one of the organizers looked out the door of the two room schoolhouse and he saw a group of folks walking around the corner, headed toward the school. As the residents continued to file into one of the rooms the first meeting of the Strinestown Community Fire Co. was about to begin. After deciding that a fire company was necessary they decided on a name, the Strinestown Community Fire Co. was born.
