Congrats to firefighter Glenn Pritchard aka “shrek” on the completion of his probie book and earning the black & red shield! Most people have no clue who “Glenn” is so we figured we would include his nickname 🤣. Shrek came to us with years of experience outside of Cranberry and has done a fantastic job at becoming a part of our firehouse and helping us educate and grow our people 💪.

Congrats shrek- thank you for the dedication to the mission of the organization and to our community!

Last night we had the opportunity to do a joint drill with our mutual aid partners at Adams Area Fire District Jimmy Ellis Firehouse Station 42. Both companies worked together to do 3 roll in scenarios to improve our skills and abilities on the fire ground.
