20. Cumberland County Fire Stations











OK, time to revel the answers. Thanks again to Wally and Sparky for the before pictures this week.
First station... Citizens Fire Company No. 1 of Enola. Cumberland County Co. 18. Part of the East Pennsboro Fire Department. 230 North Enola Drive in Enola. Organized in 1905 (as the Enola Fire Company No. 1), their station was built in 1928 and dedicated in 1929. In 1942 they reorganized as the Citizens Fire Company.
Second station... Citizens Fire and Rescue Company No. 2 of Mechanicsburg. Cumberland County Company 27. The Citizens Fire Company was formed in 1903 and the new firehouse was built between 1903 and 1905 on South York Street. In 1975 they merged with the Rescue Hook and Ladder Company and became the Citizens Fire And Rescue Company.
Third station... Midway Fire Company No. 2, 17 East Manor Avenue, Enola. Cumberland County Company 17. Part of the East Pennsboro Fire Department. It looks as if their website was just redone and there is no history listed. So, I don't have any information about them. They Run a Truck and an Engine out of this station.
