The next several years were busy for the Roslyn Fire Company as well as the township of Abington. The Willow Grove Park Mall opened on the former Willow Grove Park site; several areas in our business district sprouted new business and tenants. The township fire companies switched from being dispatched by the police department to the Montgomery County Commutations Center, eventually eliminating the five p.m. test that sent many of the area’s youths running home for supper.

The use of portable (pocket) pagers would be common place as a method for alerting our members to fire incidents and in the early 1990's the need to.

In the early 1990's the need to update our fire apparatus was recognized. Many years were spent discussing the needs of the community and our needs to maintain "top notch" fire protection. In 1992 the 3-D manufacturing company was contracted to build our company two state-of-the-art fire engines. The apparatus would contain 2000 gallon per minute pumpers and provide a totally contained crew compartment that would hold ten personnel. The apparatuses were received in October 1993 and officially housed in a ceremony on June 25, 1994.

In 1996, the five Abington Township fire departments banned together and took a plea to the citizens of the township in an effort to

receive a much-needed increase in the funding from the fire tax. The departments would actually be asking the residents to vote for a tax increase to help the fire departments. This risky request was met with resounding support from the volunteer fire departments and in the general election in November 1996; the referendum for the increase was approved by the voters. 1996 was the busiest year in the Roslyn fire company history, with regard to requests for assistance. On September 8, 1996, the remnants from a hurricane, Fran, met with another weather front in the area of Abington Township. The result was an estimated ten inches of rain in a two-hour period. The community of Roslyn was devastated and received much of what the storm had to offer.
