History

The Arendtsville Fire Company was established in 1911 with a hand drawn chemical wagon. Started with 35 members, and as of 2007 there are currently 190 members. In 2002 the Arendtville fire company took a large step and bought Adams counties first tower, and the aerial device in the northern part of Adams county. In 2008 we will be placing in service a 2007 Sutphen Engine. Over the next few years we will be looking into purchasing an all terrain medical vehicle, and looking to possibly replace the special unit.
