Thank You!

Proceeds from all of our fundraisers benefit the Gouldsboro Volunteer Fire Company.  In March of 2008, we put our new Engine into service to replace a 1976 Mack engine.  You can see a picture on our apparatus page.  It is with your continued support that we were able to do this so we can continue to serve you.  We are 100% volunteer and there whenever you need us.  We thank each of you for your support in everything we do.


Want to join?

If you'd like to become a member, stop by any Monday night at 7 PM.  We need volunteers for everything.  You don't have to fight fires to be a member.  So come see what you can do for your community!

 History
 Print this page

The Gouldsboro Volunteer Fire Company was established in 1946.  By 1948, enough money was raised to buy the first fire truck, a 1931 gear driven Hale pumper Buffalo.  It was bought from Jessup Fire Company for $856. 
 
1956:  We bought the Odd Fellows Hall for $700 which was made into our
            first fire station.
 
1962:  We bought our second truck, a 1948 Seagrave.
 
1971:  With the growing community, we needed more equipment and more
            room so we purchased land and materials to build a new station a
            mile south of town.
 
1993:  We purchased our first brand new fire truck from E-One for
            $190,000 and purchased land across from the Gouldsboro
            Methodist Church.
 
1994:  We began construction on our new firehouse which is where we are
            today.
 
1995:  We purchased a refurbished 1976 CF600 Mack pumper from
            Hatboro Fire Company which became known as Rescue 55 and  
            later, once our current Rescue was bought, it became Engine 55-2.
 
2003:  The Gouldsboro Ambulance Squad bought a Spartan Rescue which
            is operated by the Fire Company.
 
2005:  We purchased a new 3000 gallon tanker to replace two 1981 
            International tankers that held 1200 and 1500 gallons.
 
2008:  We purchased a new engine to replace our refurbished one that was
            bought in 1995. 
 
2009:  We officially purchased the 2003 Spartan Rescue originally 
             purchased by the Gouldsboro Ambulance Squad.
