Glenmoor Volunteer Fire Department
This department was chartered in 1949 with the help of many area citizens. At that time there were only a few department’s in existence, mostly in area cities and villages. Their main goal was to provide East Liverpool’s paid department with a tanker truck on calls outside of the city. The City of East Liverpool actually gave them their first fire hose. Today they have grown into a very respectable fire department with a new facility built in 2004. There are currently 20 volunteer firefighters on staff.
