Our Firehouse is a Fire-Home

Colonial Park Fire Company has a great family atmosphere. When it’s not time to train, answer emergencies, or attend college, members regularly go out to eat, attend sporting events, work out, and visit attractions and parks. We’re close to Hershey Park, Knoebles Amusement Park, and The National Civil War Museum just to name a few!
