Fire company history:

The first Fire Company was named “Langstaff”, after a family who bought the first chemical fire engine in the late 1800s after a large fire in town. The original Fire Hall was located on College Avenue where Print-Ed Products is today. The basement was shared as the fire house and also the town jail. The building burned down, but was rebuilt and used until the 1950’s. The Factoryville Fire Company was chartered in 1932 and purchased their first new Ward La France Fire Truck in 1933.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, members of the fire company purchased land and built a one story, four truck bay Fire Hall. There was a kitchen, and radio room. All functions that the company had were held in the truck bays. In 1978 the second floor was added. It was used for meetings, storage and trainings. The second floor was renovated in 1996 with a new full service kitchen and central air added. It was bought by Keystone College.

The fire company moved to 412 College Ave. where they utilize the space for all necessary functions as well as community activities. The fire hall can also be rented for private functions.
