The media event, held at the current fire station on 121 N. Liberty Street, marked the beginning of efforts to enhance the department’s capabilities and safety features.

The new two-story fire station will improve firefighter health and safety, featuring an advanced air exchange system and wash area for decontaminating gear. This project aims to better serve Orwigsburg Borough and surrounding municipalities, meeting growing needs and setting the stage for future expansion. The department is already making strides in securing funding and aligning with local authorities to bring this essential public safety project to life.
