The Broomall Fire Company (BFC) celebrated its 100th Anniversary on January 8, 2023 with a procession from the Broomall Firehouse to St. Pius X Church in Broomall where a mass was held. Friends, family and members of the community came out to show their support. The mass was followed by a celebratory brunch at the Paxon Hollow Country Club.
The BFC was founded in 1923, when 26 men met in Marple Township and made the executive decision that fire protection was needed in the community. The purpose was to form a volunteer fire company that would serve the residents of Marple Township, an 11-square mile rural community made up of farmers and tradesmen.
Today, the all-volunteer Broomall Fire Company currently serves Marple Township and surrounding communities and keeping its citizens safe has always been their #1 priority. The BFC operates a fleet of vehicles specifically designed and equipped to meet the current and future needs of our community and its members receive the finest in protective equipment and training.
Thank you to the BFC for 100 years of providing us with the very best in emergency services. For information about ways to support Broomall Fire Company so their volunteers can continue to protect Marple residents, visit the SUPPORT page on www.BroomallFireCompany.com.
