This week Co.1 Firefighters took delivery of a bunker gear dryer which will work in conjunction with last year’s purchase of a gear washer. These allow our firefighters to routinely wash their gear removing dirt and cancer causing particulates. This is a big step forward with helping keep our volunteers safe and healthy. Thank you to the Township and Dept. Chiefs for providing these valuable items.

Today marked a pivotal moment for Fire Company 1 as we proudly welcomed our newest addition to the fleet, the state-of-the-art Rescue Tower, Tower-1. Our acquisition of a tower was made possible through our generous friends in the Fardale Fire District, who told us about the buy-one-get-one-free promotion they received when they purchased their new Tanker. Tower 1 will be fully staffed for responses in Cragmere District as well as the surrounding Township and communities, quite possibly making it the “busiest tower in town”. CragmereTruckin’
