OCTOBER 2026 · NEW FIRE STATION
A New Chapter for Friendship Hose Company #1
Friendship Hose Company #1 is moving forward with plans to replace its current fire station in Orwigsburg.
Our current station has served the department for many years, but the building’s limitations make planning for the future essential. The project now moves into the important work of completing the design, coordinating approvals, and establishing a construction schedule.
We look forward to keeping the community informed as this work progresses.
WORKING DRAFT: This is the V43 announcement summary. Replace it with the complete approved newsletter announcement before publishing the redesigned site.
