Paxtang Borough,Paxtang Fire Company,Municipal Building

The ongoing legal battle between the Paxtang Borough and Paxtang Fire Company No. 1 centers around the fire company's use of the borough's municipal building. The borough is seeking thousands of dollars in rent and utility payments, claiming the fire company never agreed to such charges. The fire company argues that they never signed an agreement requiring payment and maintains their use of the building is justified. The dispute also involves past charges against former fire company members, including theft and forgery, which the fire company successfully argued should not be admissible in the current case.

A trial, rooted in the fire company's use of the borough's municipal building, began Tuesday in Harrisburg.

A lawsuit the borough filed against the fire company claims that it asked Paxtang Fire to vacate the municipal building in February of 2023 after it was removed as the borough’s official service provider in July of 2022 and a “Facilities Use Agreement” was never reached. Paxtang Fire filed a Motion in Limine in January of 2025 asking the court to bar the borough from using any of the charges against former members as evidence in the case, as it was not relevant. The court granted the request.Former Paxtang Fire captain accused of faking training, driving fire truck without licenseOver the years the Paxtang Fire Company has faced many challenges, from saving lives and property to the behind closed doors political fights.
