The S.M. Vauclain Fire Company Originally called the James F. Dougherty Fire Company named after the Baron James F. Dougherty chartered January 20, 1908. The Fire Company was renamed and rechartered on January 9, 1920 and called the S.M. Vauclain Fire Company. It was named after Samuel M. Vauclain president of Baldwin Locomotive Works. Mr. Vauclain donated financially as well as donating the 1904 Steamer, which originally found its home at the Bryn Mawr Fire Company where Mr. Vauclain resided. Our Fire Company was located in a town originally called Leiperville. The town got its name from Thomas Leiper who established the first railroad in Pennsylvania. The town was renamed Crum Lynne after Crum Creek and Lynne meaning lake or waterfall. Our original Fire Company was located on the Baldwin properties. We then had to move across the street due to Interstate 95 construction in 1952. The Fire Company was then relocated to Haverford Road in 1974 where we are now. The S.M. Vauclain Fire Company Station 62 houses two Engines a Rescue Truck a Utility/Traffic Unit and a Ambulance. We provide service to Crum Lynne and mutual aide to the other towns in Ridley Township. Our coverage are includes parts of Interstate 95, the Blue Route (I476) and the Boeing Vertol Company.
