Public subscriptions were solicited from the citizens of Town Line during the years 1921 to 1924 to help finance the purchase of the Adam Ziegler property for our first fire hall. This property was located on the south side of Broadway, near Town Line Road, and consisted of a house and a barn used for building wagons.

​

With additional funds solicited from the citizens, the first truck was purchased from Buffalo Fire Appliance Company of Buffalo. It was a 1921 Model "T" Ford Chemical truck with two 35-gallon tanks. The cost was $1,600. The records show that an additional sum of $37.50 was paid for one half the cost of a self starter for the truck.


In 1924, the Town Line Volunteer Fire Department was incorporated in the State of New York and granted a charter to operate in the Towns of Lancaster and Alden.

1930s

    1930s   

In 1930, with funds accumulated from picnics, other fundraising activities, and a third public subscription, a new fire truck was purchased from the Buffalo Fire Appliance Company. It was a 1930 Stewart chassis, 500 gallon per minute pumper truck with a 250 gallon booster water tank and one booster hose reel. Several years later the department installed a second booster hose reel on the truck.

In 1931, looking ahead for possible future expansion, the fire department purchased the property of Edward Billar, which adjoined the present property on the west side.

​

Possibly the greatest step forward for the department began at a regular meeting held on February 1, 1935. The fifty members in attendance voted unanimously to build a new fire hall. The building committee consisted of William Asmus (chairman), Joseph Moritz, Henry Stephan, Louis Franztman, William Marquart, Randolph Linderman, and Benjamin Kruse. Each member pledged himself to donate twenty hours of labor or donate $10 instead to the building project. A two story building was constructed with a dance hall on the second floor, meeting room, kitchen, rest rooms, and a truck room on the first floor and the furnace room and bar in the basement.

​

The building was completed and dedicated in a gala three-day ceremony on October 31st to November 2nd, 1935. This building still stands and is located immediately to the right of the current fire hall.

HISTORY 2.jpg

    1940s   

On May 16, 1943, a relay was held with Alden, Bowmansville, Elma, Lancaster, Marilla, Millgrove, and Town Line Fire Departments. This was the longest relay held to date in New York State and was aided by the men from the Buffalo Fire Department. Fifty pounds of pressure was received on a one inch tip with a flow of 209 gallons per minute at the end of 6,700 feet of 2 1/2" hose. The water was pumped truck to truck from the Cayuga Creek bridge on Town Line Road north to Broadway the west along Broadway tot he west side of the Raymond Weil property. Movies of the event were taken by the Buffalo Fire Department and several articles were written in the Volunteer Fireman and Engineers magazines.

​

At the March 3, 1944 meeting, the membership voted to purchase from Clarence Gerhardt a 1936 Chevy tank truck for use as a water tank wagon. This truck was originally used to haul gasoline and was converted to carry 831 gallons of water. The cost of the truck was $550.


The fire companies in the Town of Lancaster started to prepare plans for a Fire Protection District in approximately 1940, and after many discussions and meetings, this proposition was finally presented to the voters of the Town of Lancaster on July 25, 1945 and it was approved. The contract for the Fire Protection District was signed with the Lancaster Town Board in April 1946 and the fire department received its first check in May of 1946 for a total of $500.

​

About this time the fire companies in the Town of Alden discussed the idea of a Fire Protection District, but the Alden Town Board was reluctant to do this on their own. The Town Line Fire Department, outlying their proposed Fire Protection District for the Town of Alden, circulated a petition among voters in the area. The proposition was voted on in 1950 but was defeated. The Fire Companies in the Town of Alden asked that this proposition be brought before the voters again and in July 1951, through the concentrated effort of all fire companies, the proposition was overwhelmingly approved.

​

At the October 3, 1947 meeting, the members voted to purchase a new Chevy truck chassis with the members to build a tank on it. Chief Ervin Weber was elected chairman with Ted Berig, Paul Stephan, and the Board of Directors to act as the truck committee. The truck was completed in April 1949 and consisted of a 1,100 gallon tank and a 500 gallon per minute front and mounted pump. The cost was $2,078.

​

At a special meeting on April 22, 1949, the membership voted to purchase 11 acres of land on Town Line Road from Fred Stoldt for $3,000 and three acres west of the school property adjoining the Stoldt property from Matthew Kwitkowski for $300 for use as a permanent picnic grounds. In October 1951, the members voted to build the first permanent buildings on the site. They were to be of rustic design according to plans submitted by Building Chairman Al Thuman. The following year, four more buildings were constructed.

    1950s   

In 1951, Chief Paul Stephan was appointed Chairman along with Ted Berig, John Eagan, Edward Kelly, Joseph Peters, and other Firematic Officers to act as a committee to set up specifications and recommendations for a new fire truck. On October 3, 1952, the members voted to purchase from Young Fire Equipment Company of Buffalo a GMC truck chassis with a 503 cubic inch engine, three-stage Hale pump, 1,000 gallon water tank and two high pressure hose reels.


The Clinton Willis property, consisting of approximately seven and a half acres (west of the building present at that time and the site of the present-day hall) was purchased on June 5, 1953 for $8,000.

​

The Ladies Auxiliary built their permanent kitchen and the firemen built permanent rest rooms at the picnic grounds in 1954.

At the February 3, 1956 meeting, President Ray Weil appointed the following Building Committee to prepare plans for an addition to the fire hall. Erwin Weber and Clayton Ziegler were Co-Chairs with committee members Paul Stephan, Jack Wild, Dan Peebles, Louis Schmitke, Lorin Luderman, George Luderman, Ray Weil, and the Board of Director.

After considerable work to prepare plans, the fire company received on August 10, 1956, two bids amounting to $73,496.00 and $66,000 respectively. The membership unanimously voted to drop plans for alterations and proceed instead with plans for a new truck room building.


At a special meeting on April 22, 1957, the membership voted to approve construction of a new apparatus room measuring 75x50 feet on the property located to the west of the current fire hall (and where the present fire hall stands today). The cost was not to exceed $33,000. On July 11, 1958, the new apparatus room was completed.


On September 5, 1958, the Board of Directors recommended that a new fire truck be purchased to replace the Stewart truck, the oldest of the trucks. At a special meeting on July 5, 1959, the membership voted to purchase a new fire truck from Young Fire Equipment of Buffalo. The new truck was a model "V" - 196, International Chassis with a 750 gallon per minute, Class A, triple combination pumper, 1000 gallon water tank, a high pressure pump with 2 hose reels, and a built in foam system with a 20 gallon foam tank. The cost of the new truck was $20,530 and the vehicle was received and dedicated in February 1960.

​

At the October 3, 1958 meeting, the fire company voted permission to Town Line Businessmen's Group to erect a permanent Boy Scout Building on our picnic grounds.

    1960s   

In February 1960, the fire department received an International 750 gallon per minute, 1000 gallon tank pumper from Young Fire Equipment Company. This pumper carried 2 200 foot booster reels, a 20 gallon foam tank with 150 foot preconnect line, 1,200 feet of 2 1/2" hose, 400 feet of 1 1/2" hose, a generator, and an electric clutch built into the shift lever. After only a few days of being in service, it was called to a major fire in the Village of Lancaster where it pumped from Cayuga Creek to feed an aerial ladder. The truck served the department until 1982..


In April 1963, the Town Line Fire Department received a Dodge Power Wagon fire truck from American Fire Apparatus. This truck was an on or off-road vehicle with a 500 gallon per minute front mount pump, brooms, axes, hose, Indian Pumps, and a trailer hitch to pull a water rescue boat. It had rear seats to accommodate six firefighters and was capable of supplying water from inaccessible points which conventional trucks could not reach. It was retired in 1986 after 23 years of service.

​

On August 3, 1963, the Stewart that was purchased on 1930 and served the community for 33 years was retired at the Annual Town Line Fire Department Picnic. The first fire it fought was in a service station at Ransom and Broadway and the largest fire it participated in was in the Village of Alden at the Empire State Hotel on a Christmas Eve. The last fire served by the Stewart was on April 6, 1963 on Wilhelm Drive when the truck pumped water through 1,400 feet of hose for two hours of continuous pumping.

​

On Sunday, August 14, 1965, members joined together behind the apparatus hall at 6507 Broadway to break ground for a new meeting/social hall. Helping with the ceremonies were Chief Robert Offhaus, President and Building Chairman Al Gerhart, Director Mike Weber, President of the Lancaster Fire Council Robert Stoldt, Ladies Auxiliary President Charlotte Lung, and Building Fund Chairman Albert Lung. The new addition was completed in late spring of 1966 and dedicated with a cornerstone with the date. The addition will be used to hold fire department meetings and fundraisers - which will help raise money for the department.

​

In January 1966, the fire department took delivery from the Young Fire Equipment Company a 1966 International Tanker. It had a 750 gallon per minute front mount pump, carried 1,500 gallons of water, 800 feet of 2 1/2" hose, 200 feet of 1 1/2" hose, 250 gallon per minute portable pump, and miscellaneous hand tools. It was the largest tanker in the area for years and in the 1980s was requested to the U-Crest Fire Department to stand by while they had a major water main break. It was retired in 1993 after 27 years of service.

​

During 1967, with the completion of the new hall, the fire department put up for sale the former hall and apparatus room located at 6513 Broadway. The old hall, a solid two story structure became too small with the need for more apparatus and offices. It was sold and turned into a restaurant.

​

In 1969, the fire department purchased a 14 foot enclosed fan as an emergency equipment vehicle. It was outfitted by firefighters to transport miscellaneous equipment to rescue and fire calls. It was also used to get firefighters out of the elements in bad weather for rehabilitation. The same year it was equipped with first aid equipment and supplies. Town Line's first rescue unit was retired in 1987.


In the late 1960s, the Town Line Fire Department realized a growing number of requests for first aid. With the purchase of the department's first rescue vehicle, the first Emergency Medical Service was started by the department in 1969. Squads were formed, extensive training was started, and all the necessary first aid equipment was purchased. Through the years the fire department noticed first aid was the majority of calls each year. The standard Red Cross First Aid Training was replaced by EMS's, then A-EMT, and then ALS and Paramedic training for a time before reverting back to EMT.

1970s

    1970s   

In 1972, the Town Line Fire Department put into service its new Station #2 at 63 Cemetery Road, Lancaster. The new $25,000, two-bay firehouse would house Engine #2 and help protect the western portion of the fire department's fire protection district. Building Chairman Al Lung noted that most of the money to build the station came from split club fundraisers. The station was manned by a 20-man crew from the area.


On March 31, 1974, the department dedicated a new 1250 gallon per minute Ward LaFrance Pumper. Chief George Gallagher and President Norman Lesser received the keys from Truck Committee Chairman Lester Peters. This was the first custom diesel pumper purchased by the department and was equipped with 2 mattydale lays, 800 ft of 4" hose, generator, telescoping scene lights, 1200 feet of 2 1/2" hose, and the first 4" discharge gate developed by Hale Pump. The engine is still owned by the Town Line Fire Department and was refurbished in 2003 to be used as a parade vehicle.


In the mid 1970s, the fire department embarked upon its greatest fundraising event - Bingo. It turned out to be the most profitable fundraising event to that date. Teams were set up to work each required date and, along with the Ladies Auxiliary and Explorer Post, raised money for each organization. People would travel from near and far because of the time of the day the fire department chose. Sunday afternoons returned great results for this fundraiser.

​

In February 1977, the fire department purchased a new 1977 Chevy Suburban vehicle for first aid and motor vehicle accidents. The first call the unit went on was during the height of the Blizzard of 1977. It was retired in 1994.

1980s
64211_10151724290939001_431407577_n_edit

    1980s   

On September 11, 1982, the Town Line Fire Department dedicated a new Engine #2. This 1250 gallon per minute Crusader II was built by Young Fire Equipment on Cemetery Road in Lancaster. This new engine had many new innovative ideas - 4" fiberglass piping, 4 - 4" discharges, 4 - 4" inlets, a pump where the engine normally was placed and an engine where the pump should be. This engine was also featured in Fire Chief Magazine and even made the cover of the April 1983 edition. Engine #2 responded from Station #2 was in service until 2001 when it was replaced by the 2001 Darley Engine #2 which remained in service until 2011.


 

In 1985, a committee was formed to draw up specifications for a new rescue truck. Chairman David Szczudlik Sr. along with five other members researched what vehicle would best suit the needs of the fire department. An increasing number of motor vehicle accidents along with first aid requests made the department turn toward a medium-size rescue truck. Young Fire Equipment was awarded the project for a 1986 diesel Chevy Crew Cab all wheel drive vehicle. It carried six firefighters with a nine foot fully enclosed box for heavy rescue equipment and first aid supplies. The vehicle, Rescue #7, remained in service until 2001

1990s
Scan_20171204 (6).png

    1990s   

In the early 1990s, Bingo was dropped due to the fact greater time was required of firefighters for firematic and first aid training - along with the increase in contract monies from the towns of Lancaster and Alden.

​

Also in the early 1990s, the fire department took a giant step in its efforts to give better pre-hospital care by sending members for further training in the EMS field. Five EMT members passed their tests to become ALS (Advanced Life Support) qualified. It was the first time in this area the of the state that ALS was to be supplied by a fire department that did not have an ambulance.


 

In 1991, the fire department embarked upon employing a truck company operation into the policy of the department. Instead, as before, having an engine perform all the duties, the department purchased a used 100' Seagrave Ladder Truck. The ladder carried the required ground ladders and equipment required by NFPA and also had an enclosed 7 man cab. The truck, Ladder #6, was put in service on January 1, 1993 and remained in service responding from Station #1 until June of 2004.

​

In December 1993, the fire department received delivery and put into service a new pumper from American Fire Apparatus Company The 1250 gallon per minute diesel powered Spartan Cab engine was laid out the same as the previous two engines and now gave Town Line three fire engines. This also was the first fully enclosed cab pumper for the department. Some new ideas built into the apparatus were flow meters on all discharges and a push button automatic transmission. Engine #1 responded out of Station #1 until 2001 when it was renamed Engine #3 and used as a reserve piece until 2008 when the apparatus was sold to the Sheldon Fire Department.

​

In 1994, the department received a new light rescue unit. The 1994 diesel Chevy Suburban was an all-wheel drive with a conversion package supplied by Odyssey of New Jersey. The vehicle was equipped with first aid supplies, an ALS (advanced life support) kit, and other equipment for both motor vehicle accidents and house calls. Rescue 7-1 responded from Station #2 until 2002.

​

On Saturday, April 27, 1996, the Town Line Fire Department celebrated its 75th anniversary at Salvatore's Italian Garden Restaurant. The program stressed the past, present, and future history and firefighters who have made the department what it is. At that time, the fire department was proud to have a roster of 64 members, two stations, three engines, one ladder truck, and two rescue units. The department answered over 400 alarms in 1995 and looked forward to serving and protecting the community for the next 75 years.

​

A committee was started in 1998 to expand the main station to include offices, a conference room, training room, bunk room, and storage areas for files and supplies to better fit our growing needs. The committee was chaired by Norm Weber and Wayne Mang and included Russell Allan, Jennifer Klas, Ed Kwandrans, Tom Schlicht, and Joe Tryzbinski. The expansion was officially dedicated on May 1, 1999.

2000s
Twins - Angle - edit.jpg

    2000s   

The new millennium started at midnight with fully prepared crews following a detailed disaster plan headed by Chief Blair ready to jump to action should fears of a Y2K issue become reality. Y2K is an abbreviation for "year 2000." As that year approached, many feared that computer programs storing year values as two-digit figures (such as 99) would cause problems. Many programs written years ago (when storage limitations encouraged such information economies) are still being used. The problem was that when the two-digit space allocated for "99" rolled over to 2000, the next number was "00." Frequently, program logic assumes that the year number gets larger, not smaller - so "00" was anticipated to wreak havoc in a program that hadn't been modified to account for the millennium. This situation was sometimes referred to as "the Y2K problem" or "the millenium bug." Thankfully the new year started without incident.

​

The summer of 2000 was cause for celebration as Firefighters Ray Paschke and John Wild had reached 50 years of service with the department. A picnic gathering of firefighters, family and friends took place in honor of these two men.

​

In 2001, the department took delivery of the Darley "twins". Engine 1 and 2 were exact duplicates allowing us to lay our equipment out exactly the same on each of the rigs ensuring that firefighters were completely cross trained should they find themselves responding from a different station. These rigs were custom build for our department and  were unique in that they had a rear mount pump meaning the controls to pump water were located near the rear of the rig. This moved the firefighter pumping the truck away from the discharge valves on the side of the truck removing them from possible danger. The twins also had rescue style compartments which made them deeper and able to carry much more necessary equipment. The Darleys were in service until 2011.

​

While the department had an Explorer program for 14-18 year olds dating back to the 1980s, changes were made by the governing agencies in 2002 and Explorers were no longer allowed to respond to calls or be at an emergency scene. As a result, Chief Norm Weber and President Jennifer Klas created and implemented an Active Restricted program that would allow 16 and 17 year olds to join as full members of the department and be restricted in their operational duties as necessary (ie no entering burning buildings, no climbing ladders over 35 feet, no operating power equipment, etc.) Curfews and other restrictions as necessary were also part of this program to ensure school work and home duties came first.

​

Realizing that finding volunteers was becoming an increasing problem throughout the state, an Out of District Program was created in 2002 by Chief Norm Weber and President Jennifer Klas. This Out of District Program allowed the department to accept members that lived outside of the towns of Alden and Lancaster. Out of District Membership have full rights and privileges of a member but are required to put in one 8 hour shift per week with an additional one 8 hour shift on a weekend for a total of 40 hours per month. This program is still very successful today and allows those living in areas like the City of Buffalo that don't have volunteer departments participate and give back to their community. 

​

In 2004 the fire department dedicated the new Metz aerial. Headed by Committee Chairman Brian Kendall and assisted by Chief Norm Weber, Assistant Chief Rich DeVries, Captain Brett Broska, and Lieutenant Richard Damian, this piece was built in Germany and had many unique features. The Metz was in service until 2011 when it was replaced with a ladder truck that was able to carry water, thereby suiting our needs more.

​

With the growth in the area near our Station 2 and the need to house our new Metz Aerial there, an expansion of our Station 2 was completed in the summer of 2004. This expansion took a small, two truck bay room with an office and bathroom and created a larger truck bay to house the ladder truck as well as a bunk room, kitchenette, lounge area, and bathroom with full shower. This new space allowed us to ensure we can comfortably staff both of our stations in the event of a storm or other extended emergency.

​

In October of 2004, a large celebration was held at our Station 1 honoring Joseph Tryzbinski and Norman Weber for 50 years of dedicated service. Joe was still active helping around the station and a huge asset to our department on the Board of Directors and Benevolent Association. Norm was serving as Chief of the department, a huge fete for someone who had already dedicated 50 years of their life to their community.

​

Winter started early in 2006 with a surprise storm that started on October 12th. Over the course of a day a foot of wet snow fell across the region. Due to the fact that trees were still full of leaves, this led to limbs breaking from the heavy snow causing power outages to nearly 400,000 residents across Western New York. Some areas in our district were without power for nearly a week. Throughout this storm, the department was fully staffed with our volunteers housed at our stations responding to calls for assistance, both storm related and regular emergencies.

​

In 2009, a training facility was erected behind our Station 1. This facility allowed our members to receive the vital training they needed to become efficient in their jobs without our department having to leave our district or schedule time at a county facility. The buildings started with three shipping containers that were converted into rooms and included one buildable room. It has since grown to several more and includes a tower and two burnable rooms. 

2010s
TLFD Truck 2 Truck 6.jpg

    2010s   

Realizing the growing shortage of volunteers, the need for a ladder truck on a call and the aging of the 2001 Darley "twins", Engines 1 and 2, it was decided in 2010 to sell our Engine 1, Engine 2, and Ladder 6 (the Metz) and purchase two quints. A Quint is a combination piece which is essentially a fire engine and a ladder truck in one. This allowed us to house a combination piece at both of our stations, thereby ensuring a ladder truck would respond to any call regardless of which station had appropriate volunteers available at that time of day. The department took delivery of Two Pierce Quints (Truck 2 with a 75 foot ladder, and Truck 6 with a 105 foot ladder) in December of 2011. These rigs remain in service today. 

​

November 17, 2014 brought us a snowfall that hadn't been seen since 1945. Beginning in the evening of November 17th and lasting through to the next day, a 15-20 mile wide band of lake effect snow sat over Lancaster and Alden dropping snow at a rate of 3 to 6 inches per hour. By the end of the event, snow totals had reached over 7 feet in many areas. Our first call of the storm was at approximately 5am for a blocked furnace vent on Ransom Road. Our Truck 2 responded and got stuck on Ransom Road until late afternoon. A few firefighters were able to get to the station to respond to emergencies but roads were nearly impassible with several feet of snow. Once the snowfall ended, roads were partially cleared and personnel were able to leave their homes, we were fully staffed. Firefighters were on standby at our station until the following Tuesday responding to over 150 requests for assistance including collapsing roofs, emergency medical assistance, blocked furnace vents, and eventually flooding due to a massive thaw that Monday. Departments from as far as Richland Township, Pennsylvania, and the Richburg-Wirt Fire District and North Lawrence Fire Department near Syracuse, New York.

 

After assessing the November storm, the department purchased a UTV in the Spring of 2015. This UTV would allow us to travel on snow far easier. It is also equipped with a small water tank/pump for grass fires and a skid with a spot to carry a patient from an off road emergency that an ambulance may not be able to reach.

​

The department took delivery of a new Engine 1, a 2015 Pierce PUC Pumper with Dash CF Chassis. This engine replaced our 2009 Darley Rescue Pumper and is in service at Station #1.

​

On October 17, 2015 the department held a testimonial dinner at Ripa Restaurant in Lancaster honoring Robert L. Mueller for 50 years of active service with the department. Surrounded by family, friends and fellow firefighters. Bob currently serves as Treasurer of the department and has been our #1 Top Responder with over 400 alarms per year for the past several years.

​

Engine 3, a 2017 Pierce Arrow XT pumper with a 750 gallon tank, 1500 gallon per minute pump was put into service in April of 2017. Engine 3 will be housed at our Station 2 and serve as our first out piece to EMS calls. 

​

On July 15, 2017, the department held a testimonial dinner celebrating Thomas Schlicht's 50 years of service to our department. Tom is still an active member and one of our top responders to alarms as well as serving as a Director on the Board of Directors for over 25 years.
