Woody's service will be held this coming Saturday, October 6th, at our station (3476 Marietta Avenue, Lancaster). The service will begin at noon with a meal to ...follow. We invite all friends and family, but ask to please let us know if you are planning on bringing a piece of apparatus so we can plan parking accordingly. Thank you!

Woody will definitely be missed. He left some big shoes to fill with the financial aspect as he was our long time treasurer. He served on the Building Comm and ...his goal was to live long enough to see us move into our new station. He rode in the officer seat of E762 (the Seagrave that he loved) from the old station down the street and into the new station. He attended a picnic/awards ceremony held in the new station shortly after the move. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Jan and family as they mourn their loss. See more

There’s a reason why September is National Preparedness Month, as evidenced by the line of hurricanes stacked up over the Atlantic Ocean like planes waiting to ...land at a busy airport. Hurricane Florence was upgraded to a Category 4 storm today by the National Weather Service and is expected to make landfall somewhere along the Carolina coast late Thursday or early Friday. Hurricanes Helene and Isaac are further out to sea and it is still too early to know where they are likely headed. So, after several days of soaking rains and several more predicted for the coming weekend, now is an excellent time to make a plan for how you and your family will respond if disaster strikes. Severe weather is becoming increasingly destructive and when a storm or other some other large-scale disaster destroys neighborhoods, it can take days for help to arrive. First responders will be overwhelmed by the demand for their services and they have to prioritize what they will respond to first. That’s why it is critical that people be prepared to take care of themselves and their families for at least three days. The first thing to consider is how will you receive emergency alerts and warnings. Montgomery County offers ReadyMontco, a reliable and free emergency alerting system you can sign up for online: www.montcopa.org/readymontco The next step is to discuss with your family what you will need to shelter and be self-sufficient for at least three days. Your next shopping trip would be a good time to stock up on the supplies you’ll need. You should have at least a three-day supply of non-perishable foods and water (one gallon, per person, per day). You will then need to consider what you will need to have ready if you have to evacuate on short notice, including important documents and items specific to each family member’s needs, and how you will maintain communications with your family if you are separated. A detailed guide for making an emergency plan for you family can be found on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s web site: https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan Please take the time now to think about what you will need in an emergency.

Looks like tomorrow will be a great day for a ball game. If you still need tickets let us know, we have still have a few (free) tickets available.

This is a firefighting shotgun.
