A. F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co.

A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. is a dedicated volunteer fire station located in the heart of Girard, Pennsylvania, within Erie County. Our committed team of volunteers is always ready to devote their time and risk their lives to protect the residents of Girard and the surrounding communities. Situated within the Borough of Girard, we extend our services to a large portion of Girard Township and offer mutual aid to neighboring areas when required.

Our highly skilled team specializes in handling a broad spectrum of emergency situations, including but not limited to firefighting, vehicle accidents, emergency medical services, and technical rescues. With a mission to safeguard both lives and property, we strive to be a reliable pillar of safety and support for our community.

In addition to our emergency services, A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. engages with the community through exciting daily giveaways from Monday to Friday, and occasionally on weekends. We appreciate the incredible support from everyone who participates. Each Monday at 6:30 PM, we announce the week’s prizes via Facebook Live, and the prizes go live on our website/store at 6:30 PM each weekday night, provided the previous night's prize tickets are sold out. Winners for the Monday-Thursday giveaways are revealed on our Facebook Live event every Tuesday night at 6:30 PM.
