This was placed into effect on March 1st, 2007, the Friendship Engine & Hose Company No. 1 is known as Franklin County Company-14.

This strictly only affects any dealings or matters with the Engine-Tanker.  Our members continue to be apart of Company-1; nothing changes in relation to membership status, etc.  To clarify, we are not "breaking away" from the borough, just expanding to simplify our operations relating to the Engine-Tanker and its mission.  As previously stated, such as the Franklin Fire Company No.4, we are chartered under the Borough of Chambersburg, but own and maintain our own piece(s) of apparatus.  The Borough of Chambersburg provides us with a borough "tax-payer" owned (yellow) apparatus that falls strictly under Company-1 and the Borough of Chambersburg.

After several months of lengthy discussions, meetings with the borough and other consultations, it was decided that since "`ET-1" (using the Co.1 designation) could create additional legal ramifications against the Borough of Chambersburg when they have no authority or own the unit if something in the future would occur.  Many people, including chief officers from several surrounding departments agreed and understand the endeavor.  Additionally, with applying for grants and other funding, this will allow us to have our own "FDID" number and not "sharing" with the Borough of Chambersburg's number.  This change is essentially minor in the "overall scope" of the department, but allows a company owned unit to have its own designation without dragging the borough into a legal nightmare.  Again in closing, this only affects any dealing with the Engine-Tanker.

E1-4 was originally house at the Franklin Street Station, but the Borough of Chambersburg relocated the engine and career operator to the McKinley Street Station in the beginning of October 2007.
