Our History

Serving Northern Cambria Since 1898

For over 125 years, Spangler Fire Company has been the backbone of fire protection and emergency response in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania. What began in 1898 as a small group of dedicated community members has grown into a proud tradition of service.

Today, our volunteer firefighters continue that legacy, responding to structure fires, vehicle accidents, rescue calls, and hazardous materials incidents. We are more than just a fire department—we are neighbors helping neighbors, a family committed to keeping our community safe.

Our station on Bigler Avenue serves as the headquarters for Station 58, housing modern apparatus while honoring our rich history. We also own and operate the Contres-Greer Social Hall, hosting community events and fundraisers that bring our community together.
