Lancaster Fire Department was established July 28th, 1887
Believing that no valuable interest of society can be successfully maintained without associated effort and further believing that no association is perfect which has not regularly established rules and articles of government for its guidance; therefore , in order to more thoroughly confederate for the protection of lives and property of our fellow citizens from the devouring element fire, we have bonded together and adopted the name the Lancaster Fire Department, with this Constitution and By-Laws for our government, which we mutually pledge ourselves to support. July 28th 1887
