Roslyn Fire Company No.1 has proudly served the communities of Roslyn,
Crestmont, Willow Grove, and surrounding areas for nearly a century.
During our rich history we have overcome various obstacles to reach the
dreams of our founders. Our roots trace back to the early nineteen twenties,
where the growing community of Roslyn came to the realization that a fire
service was needed.

In 1922 the community of Roslyn observed the Weldon fire company rush to a call in their community along Easton Road. The community was influenced by these gentlemen
and only a few weeks later, on Monday, January 23, 1922, a meeting was called in Perry Greenspan’s real-estate office to present the ideas of the residents, and pick the first officers of their company. The first elected officers would help to bring the vision of the community for the company to life.

Following this first official meeting, various officers began to meet in a mechanic’s store, Schultz’s Garage, as a temporary “official“ hall.

In one particular meeting held in February 1922, the officers had planned a successful carnival which took place soon after, raising the first funds of the fire company, $350.00. The news of the hard work of these officers quickly spread around the community which gained the attention of Mr. Riggs of Ferguson and Johnson whom donated a lot to the company, along with an option of purchasing the adjoining lot for $600.00.
