Originally organized in 1890 as Willard Hook & Ladder Company until a fire destroyed their quarters in 1903, the present day Allegany Engine Co. was established in 1909. Present day, the company protects a 100+ square mile response area serving the Village and Town of Allegany as well as the Town of Humphrey including Saint Bonaventure University. Thirty active volunteers provide Fire and Rescue protection answering an annal average of 300-350 alarms.
Allegany Engine Co. moved to their present day location when a new fire hall was built in 1959. The company began building a club house in 1971 which was damaged by a flood in 1972, in 1978 a neighboring property was purchased with a residence that is rented to students from St. Bonaventure University. In 1989, a community center was built as a reception hall as well as a new clubhouse for the company - it was later named the Robert H. Livingston Community Center in 1996 to honor the oldest active firefighter at the time who helped design and care for the building for many years.
