history
Long before the housing development and the shopping centers, Northampton Township was a community of farmers, with the village of Richboro as its hub. The potential for property loss or death from fire was low. Even so, a group of concerned residents gathered in 1914 to charter a fire company to serve the township. They called it the Richboro Fire Company No. 1. One hundred years later, the Company has grown into the Northampton Fire Department that serves a population of over 40,000 people. Today, the company responds to 1000 Fire, Rescue and EMS calls a year.

Yesterday just after 5pm, Box 3-30 was transmitted for a report of a shed on fire near a house in the Churchville section of the Township. Crews arrived to find a shed well involved against a residence. The fire was extinguished quickly with minimal damage to the house. Later that evening, staff and volunteers worked on water supply and master stream training as well as handling several non-emergency details.
NTFD wishes our friends at @thrs114 and the agencies across the county a Happy EMS Week! Having a strong partnership through response, training, and development continuously benefits those we serve, and exemplifies this year’s EMS Week theme.
Staff and volunteers were busy this week conducting training in various disciplines, performing equipment maintenance, and responding to calls for service, while taking time to perform fire prevention and community outreach.
