After a few more years of normal operation for the company, a meeting which was attended by company officials, was held for the purposed shopping mall on the grounds of the then-defunct Willow Grove Park. The location contained a former amusement park which had fallen victim to many fires in recent years.
In September 1979, a contract was signed for alterations to the front of the fire house, allowing for an expansion of the garage doors from two to the current three and an entrance to the engine room from the side parking lot.

In 1981, an investigation and committee recommendation, a contract was signed with Mack fire apparatus to build a CF686F, 1250 gallon per minute pumper.

It was also agreed to sell the 1974 MB fire truck for the sum of $39,000.00 to the Avoca Fire Company in the Northeast Pennsylvania. These new purchases of the recent apparatus was all due to the fundraising of the Active Crew and Ladies Auxiliary. On top of the regular events other activities were started such as Ham and Oyster Suppers and solicitations to residents in our communities. Additionally, the Ladies Auxiliary was instrumental in providing donations of financial resources or equipment to the Active Crew, as a result of their fund-raising efforts.

In 1982, the officers and members of the company began regular tours of the progress of the shopping mall to be erected at the former

Willow Grove Park site. At the May 1982 executive board meeting, a discussion ensued regarding height problems encountered at "The Willow Grove." It was felt that in order to continue to provide "topnotch" fire protection, we would need to investigate the possibility of purchasing additional apparatus such as a, "platform-type apparatus." In June 1982, it was recommended that the company purchase a 75-foot telescopic platform from Mack Fire Apparatus. In addition to this proposed apparatus purchase, the building garage doors would need to undergo alterations to allow the apparatus to be housed in our building. The apparatuses were received and officially "housed" in a ceremony held on May 21, 1983. In 1984, the 1979 GMC utility was sold to Weldon Fire Company.
