About Us
|
| Warren Township is in the Northeast corner of Bradford County, Pennsylvania. The population, according to the 2000 census was 1,025 and covers 42.2 square miles.
The Warren Township Volunteer Fire Company was founded in
1947 by a group of WWII veterans that decided to the community
needed a fire company. The first truck was a 1935
Chevrolet bought from Apalachin. On December 6, 1946 the
company recorded it's first minutes. The charter members
of the WTVFD were: Daniel R. Abell, B. Merle Allyn, Louis
Antisdel, Louis Arnold, Leonard Barnes, Lilburn Barnes, Earle
Bidlack, Clayton Canfield Jr, Leo Jones, Russell Jones, Arthur
Painter, Glenn Pitcher, Merton Powell, Forrest Weaver, Carl E.
Wilson, Earl W. Wilson, Elbert E. Wilson, and Milo Wilson.
Bus Bowen was the first chief. In 1953, Warren Township
Volunteer Fire Department became incorporated.
In 1959 or 1960 the members built a fire station on the lot
where the old Warren Center schoolhouse once stood.
Besides the 1935 Chevrolet the other apparatus the company has
owned are a 500 gallon 1941 tanker, a 1,600 gallon 1951
International tanker, a truck that Art Painter built in 1960 or 61 on
the frame of a 1955 Dodge, a 1957 International, a 1969 brush
truck, and the current 5 trucks the company now uses a 1974
International Pumper, a 1975 GMC Pumper, a 2,000 gallon GMC
Tanker, a 1985 Ford F350 Brush truck, and the latest addition a
2005 Freightliner Pumper/Tanker. Currently, we have 170
personnel that pay dues of which 29 are active.
We rely on EMS from Windham and Little Meadows Rescue Squad
and our mutual aid fire companies are Little Meadows,
LeRaysville, and Rome.
