Ancient Order Of Hibernian’s
Division 22 Philadelphia
Fire Fighter John J. Redmond
A Brief History of Our Division
Division 22 was founded on March 6,1997 . When
Twenty six Philadelphia Firefighters decided to
expand their Irish heritage. The number 22
coincides with local 22 of the Firefighters union
and also dates back to the days of the Hibernian
Hose Companies. Engine 22 when the Philadelphia
Fire Department was made up of volunteer
companies. Engine 22 is still in service to this very day.
The Division chose to honor John Redmond, a
firefighter who had made the supreme sacrifice
16 years ago by giving his life so others might live ,
while fighting a fire in 1994 at the Rising Sun Baptist
Church in South Philadelphia . His spirit lives on
through the work we do.
Welcome
The Ancient Order of Hibernian's is a Catholic, Irish American Fraternal Organization founded in New York City in May of 1836.
The Order can trace its roots back to a parent organization, of the same name, which has existed in Ireland for over 300 years. However, while the organizations share a common thread, the North American A.O.H. is a separate and much larger organization.
Our division meets on the second Wednesday September through June at the union hall of the Philadelphia Fire Fighters local 22 IAFF.
