It is with profound sadness that we learn of the passing of Chief Bob Barlett. Times like this are never easy and we extend our deepest condolences to Brian, Ryan, City Hook & Ladder #14 - Lewistown, PA and the rest of his family. Family is family and we don’t differentiate if that is blood or firehouse. Some of the strongest bonds we make are with our fire house families and this one sure does cut deep. May you rest in peace Chief and enjoy your reunion with your loving wife and those that passed before you. We got it from here.
