The volunteer firefighters of Świerczyniec celebrated their 160th anniversary on July 9, 2017. The first mention of the local fire department was in 1857. The Pszczyna archives contain a note about an inspection of firefighting equipment in the Świerczyniec commune. At that time, a hand-held fire engine was located at Jedlina Manor. Nine years later, the Duke of Pszczyna built and equipped a fire station in Świerczyniec. The hand-held fire engine, with its horse-drawn carriage, served the firefighters until 1957. One of the first commanders was Augustyn Kłyk. Records from those early years are scarce. Word of mouth records indicate that Świerczyniec firefighters extinguished two major fires: one at the church in Bojszów and one at the buildings in Cielmice.
