We would like to honor our real heroes, who made the ultimate sacrifice by defending our country 77 years ago, today, on December 7, 1941.

And, to recognize those who survived the attack on that day. We will always remember and never forget. You were truly the Greatest Generation! ... See MoreSee Less

Alert Fire Co. No. 1

3 days ago

TBT - 127 Years ago on December 7, 1891 we moved into our first "real" fire station. From 1887 until 1891, the Rumsey Ladder Wagon was housed in a wooden garage on W. Lancaster Ave. Below, is an excerpt from the "History of the Alert Fire Co. No. 1":

"On July 12, 1891 the contract was signed for erecting a two story gray stone and brick building on the lot. By December 01, 1891, a new firehouse at 17 Downing Ave. (now an apartment building) had been completed and interest in the company began to increase. The first meeting, was held in the new building on December 07, 1891 with President George C. M. Eicholtz presiding."

Here is a photo of the dedication of the new fire station, which became the hub of the community and the Borough meeting place. Plus, a portrait of our third President, George Eicholtz that was donated to Alert by his family, after his passing. President Eicholtz was a Captain in the Union Army during the Civil War. ...

Our weekly training, this evening took place at US Environmental on Boot Rd. in Downingtown Borough.

Our rescue crew volunteers along with the West Whiteland Fire Company conducted stabilization and an air-bag lifting scenario and training of a truck on its side. The teams started by stabilizing the truck using our Paratech Fire & Rescue Equipment struts and cribbing. Then the crews conducted a lifting operation using both high and low pressure air bags.

We would like to thank Gregg Baitinger and the employees of US Environmental for allowing us to use their facility and heavy equipment for our training. #helpfightfire #volunteertoday #alertno45 #downingtown #heavyrescue #paratechstruts #usenvironmental ... See MoreSee Less
