The Kingsdale Volunteer Fire Company located approximately 3 miles southwest of Littlestown, was established in November of 1948. The building was built and the company Incorporated in 1949. Until July 2008, the Kingsdale Volunteer Fire Company protected Germany Township a portion of Mount Joy Township, and the surrounding areas with a two year (2006 & 2007) perfect response record.

Unlike a local fire company, NO financial incentive was ever, or has ever, been required to get the dedicated volunteers of KVFD to respond to 911 calls. In fact, the Kingsdale Volunteer Fire Company received NO financial support from the township for the past 3 years and has provided this service free of charge to the Germany Township residents. KVFD has relied solely on its fundraisers and donations of area residents to meet its financial obligations.

Against the wishes of 287 Germany Township residents who responded to a petition to keep the Kingsdale Volunteer Fire Company as the official fire company of Germany Township, the two new Germany Township Supervisors, Mr. Evans and Mr. Bitzel voted to take away Kingsdale's First Due Territory. This means that Kingsdale no longer protects its own township. Germany Township Supervisor, Mr. Valko, made a valiant effort to retain Kingsdale as the local fire company for Germany Township.

KVFD responded to approximately 130 combined Fire, Rescue, and Medical calls in 2007. In 2005 and 2006 the department was attempting to start an ambulance service, but opposition from the township, and a select few township residents kept that from happening . The Littlestown Fire Company currently provides ambulance and fire service not only for Littlestown, but Germany, Union, and Mount Joy Townships as well.

In January of 2006, the department started to provide a quick response crew to provide assistance on medical calls. This is known as a QRS and is licensed through the Pennsylvania State Department of Health. The KVFD QRS held an excellent record as being one of the county's fastest volunteer response teams for BLS (Basic Life Support) while providing excellent quality care.

The Kingsdale Volunteer Fire Company currently operates a 1992 International E-one 1250 gallon engine-tanker, a 2006 Freightliner Darley 3500 gallon tanker, a 1996 Ford F-350 Swab Special Unit, and an Orion Utility Rescue Sled.

The Kingsdale Fire Company is located at 1789 Frederick Pike in Littlestown, PA 17340.
