West Central Berks Fire Zone 4

Wyomissing Firefighters were deeply honored to es**rt Kayla, the daughter of our fallen Captain Derrick Nester, during Senior Night at Daniel Boone High School.

While Senior Night is a celebration of accomplishments, friendships, and the exciting road ahead, it was also a meaningful opportunity to honor the memory of her father, Captain Nester and the legacy he leaves behind. Standing alongside Kayla on such a special evening was a privilege we will never forget.

Kayla, please know that you will always have all of our support, respect, and love.

Always.
