Good Will Steam Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 3, former station


 

Good Will Steam Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 3, southwest corner of East Liberty Street and Central Avenue, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. CFD is Franklin County Company 1. The Good Will Fire Company No. 3, began on May 30, 1877 as  Third Ward Hose Company. At a meeting on September 5, 1877 the name of Good Will Hose Company was chosen. Another name change came with the August 2, 1898 incorporation as Good Will Steam Fire Engine and Hose Company No. 3. This building was the first building built for the Company and originally sat across the street at northeast corner of Black Alley and German Street (now Liberty Street). The building was moved here in and used as a private residence by one of their long time drivers. The second station was located on Catherine Street and used until the Good Will Company moved with The Friendship Engine and Hose Company, No. 1 into the newly constructed Chambersburg Fire Department's McKinley Street Station in 1976. 
The Chambersburg Fire Department is a combination career and volunteer department that traces it's roots to 1780 with the Friendship Company, followed by the Juniors, Good Will, Cumberland Valley and Franklins (as well as others). Some consolidation occurred in the mid-1970's.
