Alert Fire Co. No. 1

1 day ago

On this busy day for the Alert No. 1 volunteers, we should take a moment to wish all of our current and past members of the Alert Fire Co. No. 1 a Happy 131st. Birthday!

Yes, today, we also celebrate the anniversary of the formation of this company and the spirit of volunteerism to the Good Neighbor Community.

Congratulations to all of our current and past volunteers, in addition to our families for making Alert No. 1 a great company. Below, is an excerpt from the history of our company, discussing the birth of the company. Their were several discussions about starting the fire company for five years prior to 1887:

"Twelve public minded men gathered at the offices of the Downingtown Review, a weekly newspaper, on Thursday, August 18, 1887 to discuss the urgent need for organized fire protection in the Borough of Downingtown. At that meeting, the dozen organizers decided to begin, what would be the ninth oldest fire company in Chester County, and agreed to name the new organization the Alert Fire Company No. 1 of Downingtown.

The first members of the Alert Fire Company organized quickly and efficiently. Robert McGraw, who with eleven other citizens was organizing the Brandywine Savings and Loan Association, was elected the first President of the company. E. Vinton Phillips, operator of the Viaduct Roller Flour Mills, was elected Vice President. The other inaugural officers of the company were as follows: Ed M. McCaughy, Secretary; W. Howard Buckwalter, Assistant Secretary; James Leighton Guest, Treasurer; John Stout (three years), W. Howard Buckwalter (two years) and F. Fillmore Lewis (one year), Trustees. In addition to the above officers, the remaining charter members of the company that were also at the first meeting in August, were Ezra Brown, Walter H. Gracie (Editor of the Review), John H. Lillie and Frank McGorkle. In September, Mr. Stout was elected first Fire Marshal, or Fire Chief." ... See MoreSee Less
