Our
History:
From the year 1927 to the year 1990, the Borough of Pine Hill was protected by three segregated fire companies; the Pine Hill Fire Company #1, the Eagle Fire Company, and the Amber terrace Fire Company. In the year 1986, the exertion and dreams of some firefighters became a reality with the appointment of a borough fire chief to supervise all three fire companies. This appointment laid the foundation for the eventual merge of all three fire companies into one fire department.
Over the four years that followed, the members of the three orginizations worked together, hand-in-hand, to make the merge a prosperity. In the year 1991, the Pine Hill Fire Company No. 1 moved into one building with the Eagle Fire Company.
On June 11, 1991 the deeds to all three fire houses were signed over. This was the unequivocal creation of the Pine Hill Fire Department.
The Borough of Pine Hill now recognizes one fire department which maintains one fire house. It must not go unnoticed that this merge was not compelled upon the firefighters of Pine Hill, but was instead the result of their own works and devotion.
In March of 1991 the Department also took in the EMS side of our station. And with much hard work has made its self a vital part of our Department.
The Pine Hill Fire Department now houses 6 pieces of Fire Apparatus, 2 Ambulances and 1 Boat.
In the coming years we hope to continue the upgrade of our equipment with continued support of the Fire Commission and the Residents of Pine Hill.
