Good Will Fire Company

The Good Will Fire Company of Bridgeport, established in 1915, has been proudly serving the Borough of Bridgeport for nearly a century.  We are the younger of two companies that make up the Bridgeport Fire Department.  Along with the Bridgeport Fire Company #1 , we provide a population of nearly 5,000 citizens spread out over .66 square miles of primarily residential and commercial areas with fire suppression, rescue services, fire police and fire prevention programs.  We also provide mutual aide to many surrounding areas, most notable the Municipality of Norristown and Upper Merion Township.  the department currently holds an ISO rating of 4.

Another fire company, the Goodwill Fire Company, came into existence in February 1915. Within seven years it grew from a stable in which it kept a hose cart at Fourth and Grove streets to its present headquarters on Bush Street.  Like most fire companies, this one was as much for social as for fire-fighting purposes. For many years the company has conducted bingo parties on the first floor of the brick structure. With the revenue derived from the Saturday night parties, the company decided to provide and ambulance for the service of the community. Once a year the community contributes to a fund to maintain the ambulance in the best of condition.
