The Citizens Fire Company #1 of Newport, PA
Founded in 1925, Citizen’s Fire Company is one of 12 companies in Perry County, Pennsylvania covering a first due area of roughly seventy square miles. We are a 100% volunteer organization with an active crew of 20 to 25 firefighters. Within our community we serve a population of around 7500 residents. Our community is mainly residential and farm land, with some light commercial facilities scattered throughout. There are currently two schools facilities (an elementary school and a combination junior/senior high school), several churches and day care facilities. We also have a few strip mall style shopping areas with more planned in the near future. A large majority of our local remains very rural with little or no adequate water supply readily available. Stretching through the middle of our area is a section of State Route 22/322, the major east west limited access highway between State College (home to Pennsylvania State University, Main Campus) and the City of Harrisburg (Our State Capital). We also protect approximately 15 miles of the Norfolk Southern Railroad’s east coast line. Also flowing through our area is a section of the Juniata River.
The Newport Fire Department (Citizens Fire Company #1 of Newport) is an all volunteer service, staffed by dedicated and loyal members. This page is maintained on as regular basis as possible. It is a tool for the department members, as well as the public. It showcases the history of the department, as well as communicating our company trainings and our important fundraisers. The page provides images of the apparatus that serves the surrounding areas and provides a listing of the members who make NFD what it is today.
