Celebrating 61 Years of Service!

May 11, 2025
 

On May 11, 1964, the Gamber & Community Fire Company was officially incorporated—and for the past 61 years, we've proudly served our community with dedication, courage, and compassion.

From humble beginnings in Ford's Store on Route 32 to our modern station today, every call answered and every life touched has been a testament to the strength of our volunteers and supporters.

To commemorate this milestone, we’re sharing a few historical photos from years gone by. These snapshots capture the spirit, growth, and tradition that define who we are.

Thank you to all the members past and present and to the community that continues to stand beside us.

Here’s to 61 years of making a difference and many more to come.
