It was an honor to welcome Governor Josh Shapiro to our firehouse!

During his visit, we had the opportunity to discuss the critical role that grant funding plays in supporting the fire service and ensuring our firefighters have the resources, equipment, and training needed to serve our communities.

We were also proud to showcase equipment recently acquired through several grants secured with the assistance of Senator Amanda Cappelletti and her office.

We appreciate Governor Shapiro taking the time to engage with our members, learn more about our needs, and discuss opportunities to continue strengthening the fire service across Pennsylvania.

A special thank you to everyone who helped make this visit a success!
