Thank you to Williams for supporting our local first responders! What a wonderful investment in the safety of the community. Congratulations to Quarryville Fire Department on this step toward the funding of your new tanker!

If you are from the Solanco area, you have probably noticed the construction that is part of the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project of the https://www.facebook.com/WilliamsEnergyCo

The New Quarryville Loop with 10.1 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Quarryville, Lancaster County. Much of this construction is in the QFD first-due area (we cover appx. 8 miles of the pipeline right-of way).

Over the last several months, representatives from our company, led by Lt. Matt Vickers, have met with Williams to talk about funding for our new tanker.

At the October business meeting, Williams representative Mike Atchie presented us with a check for $75,000.00. This was a surprise to most everyone in attendance.

We would like to thank Williams and Mike Atchie for making this possible and working with us throughout the process. Our members and our community are grateful that we were able to secure this funding that will ultimately help pay for our new tanker when it arrives in 2027/2028.

Throwback to a show-and-tell for the public at Nichols (current location of Weis Markets) in Ephrata in the early 1970s held by Zone 1 companies. One photo captures a live demonstration of a life net. Life nets were once a familiar piece of equipment on fire service ladders as spring loaded canvas and rope rescue devices used to catch people jumping from upper stories of burning buildings.

Look closely and you’ll also spot apparatus for 1959 and 1964 and a 1955 ladder.
