Announcement

Due to the uncertainty of COvid-19 the Paxtang Fire Company has decided to cancel the 2021 annual Crabfest/Pig Roast. Our priority is the safety of our community.

The Paxtang Fire Company is an all-volunteer, 100% non-profit organization that depends on fundraisers for its primary source of income. We will continue to be available, as always, for fire calls, fire police, rescue, and various other emergencies. We also support community events and will continue to do so under the Governor’s guidelines.

Thank you for your support all these years. We hope to see you all next year!

On Friday Apr 10 around 5 pm

Both the Rescue and Engine conducted operations on a 2nd Alarm Fire in the Borough of Steelton. The rescue was tasked with attempting to make an interior attack and did so until Command issued an evacuation order. Rescue 40 was then assigned to RIT. Engine 40 arrived on scene and its crew began to provide pump operations to the fire ground.

Thank you to Northern York County Fire Rescue Franklintown Rescue 15-1 for fulfilling a transfer to the Paxtang Borough!

To aid in reducing risk of the spread of the Covid-19 the Paxtang Fire Company has restricted access to active running members and Current Officers. Thank you for understanding and we will update accessibility in the future. There is currently a sign in sheet for members to log in and out of the building in an effort to account for all interactions.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the fire victims, the family of Firefighter Jerome Guise who lost his life in selfless service to his community, and the Mount Holly Springs Fire Department on the loss of one of their members.
