The Littlestown Fire Company located approximately 2 miles north of the Mason Dixon Line on Route 97,  was established in 1858 under the name "Alpha Fire Company No.1". The Littlestown Fire Company protects the Littlestown Borough,  the Germany, Union, Mt Joy, Mt Pleasant Townships, and the surrounding areas. We respond to approximately 300 Fire and Rescue calls per year, and 500 Medical Calls. In 1999 when the new engine 201 was purchased, the engine known as Engine 202 was donated to a fire department in Arkansas. We have a long range planning committee currently looking at options for building a new fire station. A new brush truck could be coming soon to Littlestown, as well as a another fire truck. A committee is currently seeking information on the current apparatus needs of the department. Our training committee is currently working toward training as many members to the Firefighter I, and Firefighter II levels as possible.
