Description:
On October 7, 1921, at a schoolhouse in Christiana, Delaware, the Christiana Fire Company was organized by a body of 20 men who saw the need for fire protection in the village of Christiana and the surrounding community. Since then, they have expanded to include three fire stations, 3, 6 & 12. The FSC 2016 cache is located at Station 3 which opened in 1994. Today the Christiana fire Company has the tremendous task of providing fire protection and basic life support ambulance service to the residents of our district, which comprises 1/7th of the state’s entire population. Our Fire and Ambulance responses continue to increase, with runs totaling over 13,000 per year. Christiana Fire Company, with its highly dedicated and motivated volunteer and career members, has become the busiest volunteer fire company in the state and one of the busiest volunteer companies within our nation. The aims and dreams of that small band of men who founded this Fire Company in 1921 are still with us. Just as they organized to give unselfishly, so do the men and women of today's Christiana Fire Company. We hope that they would be as proud of us as we are of them.
