A group of dedicated citizens felt the need for fire protection on the Highland Park area and organized the Highland Park Fire Company on November 29th, 1911. The Highland Park Fire Company is one of five companies that make up the Upper Darby Township Fire Department. We are located on Park Ave. off of West Chester Pike, aka "The Upper East Side." We earned our nickname the "Highland Hilton" because of the hospitality we show our brothers from neighboring county companies that come and ride with us. Our first piece of equipment was a hand drawn hose cart, which was later replaced by horse drawn carts. To date, we currently house two engines, one ladder, one rescue, and one chief's/command vehicle.
