Description
The Greensburg Volunteer Fire Department was organized on January 12, 1891 and included Hose Company #1 and Hose Company #2. The City's original firefighting equipment consisted of two hose carts and leather fire buckets.
In 1894, Greensburg Fire Department acquired its first hand-pumper, the Pat Lyon, when it annexed the Boro of Bunker Hill. At that time, the Pat Lyon Hose Company, named after its hand-pumper, became Greensburg Hose Company #3.
The City annexed the Boro of Ludwig in 1896 and at that time obtained their second hand-pumper, the Goodwill. Both of these hand-pumpers were purchased from the City of Pittsburgh after the "Great" fire in Pittsburgh in 1845.
