The Lower Macungie Township Fire Department began as the Wescosville Fire Company. Although its name has changed to better reflect coverage throughout the township, the station that was built on this site in 1974 -- and enhanced in the 1980s -- recently has become one of two stations in the township. A second facility -- known as the Brandywine Station -- was opened earlier this year under the same organization along Sauerkraut Lane near Willow Lane.
