    The Perseverance/Hope Fire Company has been proudly providing volunteer fire protection and rescue services for 196 years to the towns currently named Allentown Borough and Upper Freehold Township. The first fire organization in Allentown was that of the Perseverance Fire Company, which was organized on the 23rd of November 1818. A number of inhabitants met at the hotel of William Arnold for the purpose of forming a fire company. A constitution was drawn up and adopted.
    **Walt E. Lee was recognized as to having created more than 100 original Firemarks. In addition, he was asked by the U.S. State Department to send a presentation plaque to every U.S. Embassy around the world.
