Carlisle Fire Department, old stations



Carlisle, PA. Union Fire Company #1 on West Louther Street was organized in 1789 and built this building in 1888. The old fire house is now the company museum. Union's run as Cumberland County Company 41.

Good Will Fire Company #1's old fire house is on East Pomfret Street, just a block off Hanover Street. This building is now the Salvation Army Thrift Shop. The Good Will's were Company 44.

Cumberland Fire Company were housed on East Louther Street, this building I somehow missed a couple of weeks back when I shot all the others but I got back to it. It was at one time a carpet store but now appears to be unoccupied. Cumberland's were Company 40. In 1984 they merged with Good Will and now run together as Company 40, the Cumberland Good Will Fire Company.
