The Kearsarge Fire Department is an established fire, rescue and emergency medical service organization located in southern Millcreek Township of Erie County, Pennsylvania. Our Northern fire district border is the City of Erie (the fourth largest Third-Class City in Pennsylvania). Beginning in the early 1900's, with a hand-drawn cart and a few friends, Mr. George Steva founded the Kearsarge Fire Department to provide fire protection to the community. Officially organized on April 20, 1939, the first Chief of the Department was Clive Lyons, and the first President was G.W. Bartholomew. The early years had the department headquarters in a large garage. By 1948 a new station was built at 5618 Peach
