Absecon Fire Co. #1 was organized and incorportated in 1913 and was housed in a building located on Station Avenue at the turn leading to North Shore Road. The building is still there today but has been converted into apartments.

Standing beside the original Fire House was a steel tower which held the large Bronze Bell that was used as a fire alarm. This same bell has been preserved and is now located at the base of the flag pole at the present Fire House.
