Upper Leacock Fire Company Operations

Upper Leacock Township back to top

The map at the left shows Upper Leacock Township, Lancaster County, PA. The township is primarily served by two fire companies, Upper Leacock and Bareville. A small area of the south west area of the township is served by the Witmer Fire Company. Maps below show a street level detail of running areas in the township. ULFC is the first-due fire company in approximately 2/3 of the township (9.2 sq. miles). However, the two fire companies run most dwelling and building fires together. This allows more apparatus and manpower to respond in a timely fashion.
