The Grantham Volunteer Fire Company was formed in 1942 and with the growth of the community and the department they changed the name in 1949 to the Upper Allen Fire Company of Grantham. By the 60's they had a second station along Gettysburg Pike and when this station burned in 1983 they built a new single station along Gettysburg Pike in 1985 and again changed the name to Upper Allen Fire Department. They run as Cumberland County Company 23 and call the web their home here.
PS, I'm only 85-90% sure this home is the old original station along Grantham Road near the park. Any confirmation on this let me know.

That looks like you have the right place. The old Grantham station was turned into apartments when it was sold. If it is sitting to the right of the access drive to the park, then it's the right place. (The only thing throwing me is the pine trees. But since Penndot closed the Gratham Rd and Route 15 intersection, I don't get to drive by very often.) I'll try to drive by and confrim.
