The official name of the Fire Company in Bird-in-Hand is the Hand-in-Hand Fire Company No.1, Station 4-1. We are one of four all volunteer fire companies in East Lampeter Township: Hand-in-Hand, Lafayette, Witmer, and Ronks. The Emergency Services Committee of East Lampeter Township is made up of a delegate and an alternate from each fire company. Each fire company also has a citizen representative. In addition, the Township’s Supervisor and an alternate and two citizen representatives are on the Committee. The Township Manager is an ex officio member.
The territory of Hand-in-Hand encompasses Kauffman’s Fruit Farm to the east and extends to half of the village of Smoketown on the west, along with the Lapridge and Willow Acres Developments, which makes us responsible for 775 homes and 107 businesses in a 10-square-mile area, and 46 farms within our first-due. In a wider regional area, we are one of nine companies in Zone 4, which extends from Route 30 north to Route 340, west to Witmer and east to the Chester County line.
For over 100 years, our team at the Hand-in-Hand Fire Company has protected the Bird-in-Hand community and surrounding areas by responding to emergencies. These include residential, industrial, and barn fires as well as vehicle accidents and floods. We provide traffic control, answer automatic fire alarms, and educate families about fire protection and safety issues. We are strongly engrained within the community because we are the community.
