The Garrettford-Drexel Hill Fire Company founded in 1907 In 1908 the fire company applied for a charter. The charter was received on April 24, 1908.

The Garrettford Drexel Hill Fire Company was first organized in January of 1907 as the Garrettford Fire Company. It started when a group of concerned citizens met in Summer's Hall on the second floor of the old Scott's Market, now the WaWa, at Burmont and Garrett. On April 12, 1907 the first firefighting equipment was purchased by the fire company, two Babcock Extinguishers. Also in 1908 the fire company purchased the Mission Building from the Garrettford Baptist Church. This building was located at Edmonds Avenue and Randolph Street; the fire company is still at this location. Page Rules:
