1. We are sorry we no longer offer pool filling service, however, our fire company neighbors at Kimberton Fire Company does. Please contact Kimberton Fire Company for more information.

2. If you need information about the fire company for insurance purposes, we have two engines, a tanker and brush piece for fire protection. The engines both hold 750 gallons of water while the tanker holds 4,000 gallons. As for fire hydrants, a lot of our district does NOT have hydrants. If you live in a new subdivision, then you would have fire hydrants in the development. If not, then we require tankers to shuttle water to a fire. None of East Nantmeal has any hydrants and only portions of Upper Uwchlan and West Vincent has them. If you need to know how far you are to the fire company, then map quest your home to our address. We also have an ISO rating of 9, due water supply being mostly provided by tankers from surrounding departments.

3. If you are a resident and are having a controlled burn on your property you must contact the fire board at 610-933-8966 and advise them of such. Please do not call the firehouse and leave a message. Also please check the open burning link on our site for safety tips and requirements.

4. If you have a birthday party request please contact the firehouse. We do not have the capability to host a birthday party, however, we will make every effort to come out to yours. If you are a brownie troop leader, cub scout leader, moms club or any other organization that would like to schedule a fire house visit, please email Asst Chief Jeff Kimes at jkimes73@aol.com.

5. Ludwig's Corner Fire Company services portions of West Vincent, Upper Uwchlan and East Nantmeal Townships. The other fire companies that serve the rest of these townships are:

Upper Uwchlan: Lionville Fire Company, Glenmoore Fire Company, East Brandywine Fire Company

East Nantmeal: Glenmoore Fire Company, Twin Valley Fire Company

West Vincent: Kimberton Fire Company, Ridge Fire Company.

If you live in one of these townships, and we are NOT your provider, please check the above list for the other companies that may service your home. If you are not sure, send us an email and we would be glad to let you know.

Please remember, we are an all volunteer organization. If you call the firehouse and leave a message, it may take several days for someone to return your call. We strongly recommend you contact us via email for a quicker response to your question. 

Thank you to our residents and business owners in the community for your continued support. The LCFC strives on donations and thank you to those that donate regularly.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED--The LCFC needs more volunteers to add to our firefighting crew. No experience is necessary. The training is all paid for and all the equipment is provided free of charge to members. The member is required to attend a firefighter class and some others to be considered qualified, all on our dime. The only criteria to apply for active firefighter membership is you must pass criminal background check and must reside or work within the fire district boundary of the LCFC.

The LCFC also has a junior firefighter program. This is offered to members as young as 14. Young members are permitted to train and participate in certain activities, in accordance with child labor laws. As in any organization, the young people are the future of the department and encouraged to get involved.

Senior members are those 18 years of age or older. If you are interested in fighting all types of fires or helping with vehicle rescue incidents, then stop by Monday nights at 7PM and speak with the fire chief and obtain an application.

If your not interested in fighting fires, and rather look into something else, stop by and talk with the Chief about other areas you could help out in.

Ludwigs Corner Fire Company was dispatched full company to assist Twin Valley Fire Department with a house fire off of Bulltown Road. Along with Lancaster County Tanker 34. Initial notes for the incident stated that there was heavy smoke coming from the roof and from the front door. Upon the arrival of Engine 69-2 the crews laid a line through the door to find that the fire had almost smothered itself completely. Crews from both Station 73 (Ludwigs Corner) and Station 69 (Twin Valley) worked to make sure there were no "hot spots" or small fires anywhere in the building and then worked to disassemble and discard all things effected by the fire. During the fire TVFD was also dispatched to an auto accident on Rt. 23. Ridge Fire Company assisted on the auto accident.

The Ludwigs Corner Fire Company would like to thank everyone who came out to support us at our Beef N' Beer! We would also like to thank anyone who donated either their time, money, or items to help make our event a success. We hope to see you next year!

Crews from the Ludwigs Corner Fire Company train every week on Monday nights. They train for all types of calls that they could potentially be called to. One of the types of training that is greatly focused on is vehicle rescue training. The crews simulate an actual accident with rescue dummies as patients. The crew is dispatched by other crew members and given the same information they would be given in a real situation. Once the rescue crew on the rescue truck arrives on "the scene" they go doing all of the jobs they normally would. Such as, stabilization, EMS, dismembering the vehicle. They also try new techniques for extricating patients from vehicles and work with an array of tool types to make sure their skills stay sharp on all the equipment they carry.

The Ludwigs Corner Fire Company was dispatched to an auto accident at Rt.100 and Nantmeal Rd. upon arrival on the scene which was right in front of the fire house it was confirmed to be on vehicle into a telephone pole with the high tension lines against the pole. However there were also reports as an accident at Rt.100 and Horseshoe Trail. Police requested that the road be shut down so that both scenes could be taken care of. Once everything was cleaned up and the patients taken care of, the LCFC returned the short distance back to their station but not for to long. The LCFC was then dispatched for wires in front of their station. The wires that had been dislodged because of the earlier auto accident had started to rub against the pole and cause arching and fire to rush down the pole. Fire Police was dispatched to close down Rt.100 at Horseshoe Trail and Rt.100 and Birchrun Road.
