Sellersville Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary 

100th Anniversary Banquet - May 2010 

On the evening of January 18th, 1910, the Ladies of the Sellersville Firemen had met in Firemen's Hall (2nd floor of the 1888 firehouse) to organize a Ladies Auxiliary of the Sellersville Fire Company. Through the Ladies Auxiliary's history, they have always had the desire to help the fire company in anyway possible. From the original charter filed in 1924, the ladies "character and object of which is the collection of money for procuring apparatus and appliances for fighting fires for the various fire companies of Sellersville, Pennsylvania..." The ladies still hold true to this today.

What many people may not know, is that the ladies were the ones to originally purchase the plot of land the 1927 firehouse was built on. By June 1924, the ladies became impatient with the men, who at the time were satisfied with the 1888 firehouse that was shared with the Borough for their Borough Hall. They insisted to the men that the current firehouse was "entirely too small to take care of a crowd and make worthwhile money at any of their company benefits." After months of inaction, the ladies purchased the lot on Main Street with the "understanding that a building will be erected as soon as practicable." By summer 1928, they got their wish and the new firehouse was officially opened.

To this day, our Ladies still support our efforts with their many fundraising activities. If you're interested in joing the team, find more information on the application below.
