When the call comes, Clifton Heights answers.
For more than a century, the volunteers of Station 3 have answered the alarm for our neighbors — day or night, in every kind of weather. Fire, rescue, accidents, and emergencies. This is the Pride of the Pike.
A volunteer company built on duty.
The Clifton Heights Fire Company has protected the borough of Clifton Heights since 1896 — 130 years of neighbors standing ready to help neighbors. What began as a community of volunteers with hand-drawn equipment has grown into the modern, all-volunteer department that responds today as Company 3.
Our members aren't paid to run into burning buildings. They do it because this is their town. They train on nights and weekends, leave family dinners when the tones drop, and answer calls for fires, vehicle accidents, rescues, and every kind of emergency across Clifton Heights and our mutual-aid partners.
From the very first alarm to today, the mission has never changed: protect life and property, and look out for our own.

Apparatus of Station 3
Front-line equipment, kept ready around the clock and operated by trained volunteers when the call comes in.
Engine 3
Our front-line Pierce pumper and first-due engine — water, hose, and pump power to put the fire out and protect what matters. "Pride of the Pike."
Quint 3
A Seagrave 100-foot aerial quint — pump, water, ground ladders, and an aerial device in one truck for elevated rescue, ventilation, and master-stream operations.
Squad 3
Manpower, tools, and rescue capability for working fires, vehicle accidents, and emergencies — getting trained members and equipment where they're needed most.
Apparatus specifications are approximate.
On the fireground.
Real calls, real work. Our volunteers train hard so they're ready for whatever the borough throws at them.
Part of Clifton Heights since 1896.
We're more than a fire company — we're your neighbors. From holiday visits to the moment you need us most, Station 3 shows up for this town.
I brought my six-year-old by the station — he's obsessed with firefighters and says he wants to be one. The crew gave him a tour of the truck and even let him try on a helmet. He didn't stop smiling all day. That kindness meant the world.
My son was accidentally locked inside the house. I ran to the fire station and they responded in under five minutes and got me back inside to him. I'm endlessly grateful to these guys — they're amazing.
We never forget the ones who answered first.
Generations of Clifton Heights volunteers have worn this badge. We carry their tradition forward with every call we run.
