About Us

The White Horse Fire Company is a 100% Volunteer Fire & EMS company located in the village of White Horse in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. 

The Fire Company was organized in 1914 as the "Salisbury Township Fire Company No. 1", after a tragic fire swept the village of White Horse. The Ambulance was organized in 1958 after a need arose in our community for a rapid response of an ambulance in our time of need.

We are dispatched by Lancaster County 911. We provide mutual aid assistance to companies in Lancaster, Chester, and Berks counties.

Our apparatus includes 2 Engines, a Tanker, a Utility/Brush unit, and two Basic Life Support Ambulances.
