January 6, 2026 —For generations, Lincoln Fire Company Station 16 has answered the call at all hours to protect the residents of Ephrata Borough, Ephrata Township, and Clay Township. Staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers, the company continues to emphasize training, preparedness, and service as the foundation of its mission to safeguard the community.
Fire company officials say volunteering offers residents a direct way to make a meaningful impact close to home. Members respond to emergencies ranging from vehicle accidents and fires to severe weather incidents, while also taking part in public safety education and community events. Ongoing training ensures volunteers are ready to operate safely and effectively in high-pressure situations.
As recruitment efforts continue into the new year, Lincoln Fire Company is encouraging anyone interested in serving their community to learn more about membership opportunities. Additional information about volunteering, training, and the department’s mission is available at LincolnFireCo.com.
