Catasauqua Fire Department, 90 Bridge Street, Catasauqua, Pa. Lehigh County Station 2. Organized in 1895 when the Borough of Catasauqua took control of the Phoenix Steam Fire Company No. 1 (organized in 1845 as Humane FC, reorganized as Phoenix in 1866) ) and the Southwark Hose Company No. 9 (formed in 1873). The East End Hose and Chemical Company was added in 1916 and the Catasauqua Rescue Squad and the Catasauqua Fire Police were added in 1968. In 2020 the Borough Counsel decertified the original fire companies and certified Catasauqua Firefighters Association as the sole provider of volunteer fire service in the borough.
