Potts Grove Fire Company

== History ==
The Potts Grove Fire Company was established in 1925 and re-organized in 1944. 
On March 31, 2024, the Potts Grove Fire Company was evicted from its main fire station building due to an ongoing dispute with East Chillisquaque Township supervisors. It continued to serve as an active fire company with surrounding municipalities such as Turbot, Liberty, and West Chillisquaque Townships.
On June 25, 2024, a Northumberland County Judge ordered that the Potts Grove Fire Company was to resume fire protection services in East Chillisquaque Township, and its newer station building returned to their occupancy. On July 1, 2024, their apparatus and equipment was returned to the fire station. At this time, they were also loaned an engine from a nearby fire department.This was a temporary replacement for their apparatus that was hit by a tractor-trailer and totaled in September 2023.
