At Fire Station That’s Served Elkton for 40-Years Expansion is Underway

Posted on August 9, 2011 by admin

The expansion of Singerly Fire Company’s main fire station on Newark Avenue in Elkton is moving right along.  At the station that has has served the community for forty years, demands on the facility have grown since 1971 so the enlarged structure will have eight fire appartus bays facing Newark Avenue.  Singerly responds to fire and EMS calls out of three stations now, but when the company incorporated in 1892 it answered alarms from its headquarters on North Street in downtown Elktokn.  The mayor and commissioners had built that structure a short time earlier to serve as a town hall and firehouse.
