The Lordstown Fire Department, chartered in April 1946, is now celebrating over 70 years of protecting life, limb, and property. The Department began serving the community with a single fire engine, responding out of a central fire station located in the same spot where the current station is situated, at 1595 Salt Springs Road. The Department began with a 1947 International pumper with a 600-gallon tank. This truck was restored between May 2003 and September 2004 at an approximate cost of $21,000. It utilizes a 500 GPM Hale Pump and a Maxim engine. If you would like to read the article published in the Tribune Chronicle, our local newspaper, on January 6, 2005, please click the link below.
