History
The Lewistown Volunteer Fire Company was established in 1970, when the community purchased the first diesel engine in the county. Today, the fire department has six different apparatus: Engine Tanker 224, Engine 221, Tanker 22, Brush 226, Utility 22 and Ambulance 229. The fire station is staffed by volunteers from the community and two paid employees of the county. On June 23, 1863, General John F. Reynolds' I Corps marched through Lewistown on their way to Gettysburg in pursuit of the Confederate army. The Hagerstown and Frederick Railway served the town.
