We are proud to place this unit in service, and we would like to thank the new Engine committee for all of their hard work, our Pierce salesman from Glick Fire Equipment Curt Woerth, our members of the fire company, Ambulance, and Ladies Auxiliary for their time and efforts in raising the funds for the engine, Salisbury Township for their usual outstanding support, and last...but certainly not least...the members of our community for the generous support of our company which also enabled us to purchase this engine which is expected to serve for the next 25-30 years.
