Welcome to Fighting 61st.com  

We are a volunteer fire company located in Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. We have been serving the residents of Lower Saucon Township since 1929.

In September of 2004 was our 75th Anniversary. In the beginning, we owned one 1929 Hand-Chemical Truck and now we have a fleet of five modern fire trucks, including our newest truck, a 2001 Emergency One Custom Pumper. The trucks reside in our four bay fire station which has the capacity of holding nine fire vehicles. We have grown from an alarm system that consisted of a bell on a pole to a sophisticated electric siren and pager system. Our wagon shed has become our newly renovated Social Hall which hosts a variety of community events and fundraisers. Our old rubber fire fighting coats and boots have evolved into our own personal hi-tech protective gear offering our firefighters an unparalleled level of safety and protection.

A lot has changed, but one thing has remained, our selfless dedication to protecting the homes and businesses of Lower Saucon Township.
