Lancaster County’s FIRE EXPO evolved from a Fire Equipment Show hosted by LCFA at Park City Shopping Center on October 28, 1973. In 1974 the LCFA joined with other area Fire Associations to host the Middle Atlantic State Fire Protection Seminar at Manheim Twp Middle School on September 6, 7, 8, 1974 at which time the name FIRE EXPO ’74 appeared. In 1975, FIRE EXPO ’75 was held at Dutch Wonderland Park on Rt 30 East of Lancaster City on May 16, 17, 18, 1975. More than 6,000 attended from 21 states. FIRE EXPO continued to increased in size and in 1990 FIRE EXPO moved to the Pennsylvania Farm Show complex in Harrisburg, PA where it continues to this day and draws over 20,000 participants in recent years. The LCFA has sponsored Fire Training and Educational opportunities since it was formed and held organized fire training at several sites around the County over the years. On December 9, 1970 LCFA President Charles Danner signed an agreement to purchase an 23 acre Farm on Pequea Lane in West Lampeter Township, Lancaster County PA. for development as a fire training site. This facility continues to operate today with a Class “A” Burn Building Collapse Rescue Training Area and a Confined Space Simulator that compliments our new County Government sponsored Public Safety Training Center. The LCFA purchased and maintains a Pumper at the training site and subsidizes the cost of company training for its member organization, and funds special training opportunities each year.
