Volunteers Serving Springfield Township
On Saturday, April 3rd members of the Flourtown Fire Company took on a project to bring down a piece of our history from atop the old firehouse.
The “old bell”, was used to alert the firefights of a fire alarm before it was replaced by the mechanical siren that we use today.
We plan to refurbish the bell, and put it on display as it is a piece of our heritage.

2010 is a special year for the Flourtown Fire Company. We are celebrating 100-years of dedication and service to our community. In an effort to commemmorate our centennial we have designed a tee shirt to celebrate our anniversary, which is now for sale on our website.
Shirts are available in a variety of sizes, and will be shipped via FedEx at a calculated rate.
Local pick-up on Monday evenings is available free of charge.
Please note that all transactions must be completed via the eStore on the website in order to assure availability.
Members of Flourtown Fire Company attended to March 10, 2010 meeting of the Commissioner’s of Springfield Township, where a resolution was passed unanimously to honor and thank the volunteers and the families of Flourtown Fire Company for 100 years of Service to the community. On hand to accept the resolution from Commissioner and fellow firefighter, Glenn Schaum were: President, Tim Ernst, Chief, George Wilmot III, former Chief, Bill House, Treasurer, Ron Valentine, firefighter Jim Belcher, Director, Robert Scott III, Director/Lieutenant John Redington, and Deputy Chief Mike Frye.

The official logo for the Flourtown Fire Company’s 100th Anniversary now adorns the rear of Ladder 6, Engine 6 and Squad 6 to celebrate the Century of Service Flourtown has provided to the community.
Thanks go to Chief George Wilmot, III, Chief Engineer Dave Scott and President Tim Ernst for designing and working with Pierce and Charlie Mullin to have the logos applied to the rear slide-up door on each of the trucks.
