CANTON

Canton Fire Department / Innes Hose Company Incorporated, as it is known today, was formed in 1882. It was formed from what was 4 separate fire departments known as Canton Hook and Ladder, Belmar Hose Co., Independent Hose Co., and Innes Hose Co. Over the last 100 plus years we have grown to what we have today as Canton Fire Department/ Innes Hose Co. owning a fleet of 7 pieces of specialized equipment along with land and Buildings located in both the boro and the township. In 2004 we split away from Canton Borough and became one independent agency for better availability of funds and a more manageable department. We are supported by donations from our tax payers, several fund raisers and the 5 Township and 2 boroughs (Canton Boro, Alba Boro, Canton Twp, Leroy Twp, McNett Twp, Ward Twp, and Union Twp) providing tax dollars from an area that covers 198.6 square miles of coverage area. Our membership includes approx. 150 members with about 35 being active.
