flag The East Lansdowne Fire Company in Pennsylvania will close on December 31, 2025, after borough council voted to end its partnership due to a severe volunteer shortage and financial strain. flag With only five active firefighters and declining response times, neighboring departments have handled emergencies for over a year. flag Officials cited the inability to raise taxes by 60% to fund staffing and noted the department’s reliance on borough support beyond its $59,000 annual tax allocation. flag The fire company, serving over 2,700 residents since 1911, will cease operations, with no immediate plans for a replacement local department. flag Borough leaders are exploring regional partnerships and assessing the future use of the firehouse and equipment, which will not cost taxpayers more.
