Their department was organized and created on September 24, 1927. The original officers were:

The old school bell, that is now currently placed on the memorial in the front of the current fire station, was the first fire signal in Liberty Borough.

The first piece of fire equipment was a hose reel purchased in November, 1927 from Chalfant Borough for the sum of $65.00

The first fire station, owned by the Borough of Liberty, was on Liberty Way and is now occupied by our Police Deptment today. It served as the Boroughs official fire headquarters for many years. However, due to the lack of space, our current station at the end of Haslage street was completed in the fall of 1963, for $55,000.
