The companies which form the fire department at the present time are the Hope hose company, Hand-in-Hand and the Good Will. All are strong and flourishing, fully equipped for active service, and finely uni- formed for parade; they receive due attention and assistance from the council, and are always ready when needed. The citizens of Lock Haven are proud of their fire department, and justly say "there is no better in the Keystone State."
Among the oldest members of the Lock Haven fire department living in Lock Haven at the present time are: R. S. Barker, W. C. Kress, J. W. Harris and M. B. Herring. These persons were members of the Original Twelve, as they were called, who organized the old Good Will company, in 1857. When the present fire department was organized, in 1870, R. S. Barker was elected chief engineer; he held the position for nine years, and then resigned. He was succeeded by Charles Keller, who was succeeded, in 1888, by George D. Fox, the present chief engineer.
The engine house of the Lock Haven fire department is located on Grove street, and is presided over by R. H. McGhee. The Good Will company has a fine new hose house, just erected, on Bellefonte avenue.
