The original fire company was named “Langstaff”, after a family who bought the first chemical fire engine in the late 1800’s after a large fire in town.

The original Fire Hall was located on College Avenue where PrintEd 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 1931 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 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.  
   
In 2010 we purchased purchased four acres of land on College Avenue in Clinton Township to build a new fire station and since constructed our new home!
