100 Years of Service Captured in Bronze

On September 10, 2010, Flourtown Fire Company gathered for a cocktail party and celebration of “A Century of Service.” During the ceremonies, the bell from 1910 was unveiled, restored and mounted on a new stand for everyone to enjoy. Also unveiled that evening was a plaque now mounted to the front of 1526 Bethlehem Pike that read “A Century of Service” 1910 – 2010 “In Commemoration of 100 Years of Volunteer Service.”

Community Carnival and Fireworks

The Carnival and Fireworks were an overwhelming success! Thank you to everyone who came out. We were in awe of the crowd and the response we received for our free Community Carnival and Grand Fireworks display. We have hundreds of photos of the event and will be sharing them here soon. We still have Cookbooks, T-Shirts and Pint Glasses for sale to commemorate the 100th Anniversary and we appreciate your support.

In 1910, Flourtown was started to save lives and property and our mission remains the same today. Starting at 4PM our free community carnival with food, drinks and plenty of fun and games for the kids was packed with families, friends and a turnout estimated at over 1,000 people. As dusk settled 1,000’s joined us as we celebrated the fire company and remember all those that lost their lives on that fateful day nine years ago, 9/11/01.

It was our way of saying thank you to the community for 100 years of support.

Squad 6, Engine 6, Utility 6 along with Rescue 7 (Wissahickon) and Rescue 29, (Barren Hill) responded to a vehicle accident along Route 73, just South of Butler Pike. The vehicle left the roadway, struck a tree and the vehicle came to rest back on the roadway. The one occupant was extricated from the vehicle by stabilizing with cribbing and removing the driver’s side door.
