One of the first fundraisers for the Horsham Fire Company was in 1919. The badges for the Fire Company were purchased with possibly some of the money earned by Miss Margurite Webster, who sponsored a play in Loller Academy for the purpose. Miss Webster later married Chester G. Duckworth, who became the next Fire Chief. The Ladies Auxiliary also donated money to pay for a Hahn truck on May 20, 1938. The Ladies Auxiliary, though it existed previously, officially became an entity of the Horsham Fire Company in 1949.

The Auxiliary is in charge of many fundraisers. Beginning in the early days with Miss Webster's plays, there have been many other ways the Auxiliary has raised money for the Fire Company. From selling calendars and first aid kits for your car to running Pancake Breakfasts and Beef and Beers, activities have fallen just about everywhere in-between the two. Some of the most recent sales have included candles and wooden replicas of the original Firehouse. Horsham Day is one of their largest events, where they begin with selling the food for the fishing contest and end with selling glow necklaces before the fireworks.

The Auxiliary also sponsors many events for the Fire Fighters and their families. An Easter Egg hunt and a Christmas party for their children are still annual events, and they have in the past sponsored Breakfast with Santa and a Halloween party for the children. They are also on call to provide food for fire calls, when the Chief feels it is necessary to activate them. There is a phone chain in effect for these times, so they can all be notified of the need.

In October of 1990 the first male member joined the Auxiliary, closely followed by the second. The name was officially changed from the Ladies Auxiliary to the Auxiliary in 1994 to accommodate the males in the organization. They have had five male members since that time.

The membership of the Auxiliary has been an ever-fluctuating number. With anywhere from four to five officers, the number of members has been as low as 7 and as high as almost twenty. The current Auxiliary has five officers and consists of twelve members, two being men.

Please check out their schedule of events for the coming year. They would love to see you attend one or more of their functions and support your local Fire Company.
