York Fire Fighters Essays & Pictures


The following pages are meant to illustrate part of the history of the York Fire Department and its predecessors. They will be updated in installments as I have the time to work on them.

No section is ever to be considered "complete." Visitors are encouraged to add to, validate or criticize the contents of these sections. If you would like to make suggestions, or even write your own section for inclusion on this site, please send e-mail to the webmaster, and we'll get it online.

For now, I plan to work on the issues chronologically with a relatively simple overview of different time periods. However, this doesn't stop anyone from doing some work on a time period of interest to them. The format and appearance of this site is not etched in stone, and will change from time to time.

Remember... This is a work in progress, and your participation is encouraged!
