About Us

The Squankum Volunteer Fire Company #1 was organized as the Camp Housman Fire Company on December 12, 1950.

It was originally based in a one-bay garage on Hurley Pond Road. This was on the Camp Housman Boy Scout Camp operated by the Boy Scouts of America, where thousands of Boy Scouts gathered and camped each year.

Live-in Scout Camp Ranger Carl A. Thunnel felt that although the efforts of the older Boy Scouts belonging to the camp fire brigade had so far been sufficient in suppressing fire outbreaks, that the presence of adult firemen in a fire company would supply a much greater measure of safety for the campers.
