As everyone enjoys their long weekend and unofficial kick off to summer, let's all take a moment to remember what today is all about. This day of remembrance is about those brave men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live our lives today. We are forever grateful to those who have helped maintain our freedom in the most honorable way possible.

Have a safe and reflective Memorial Day.

๐Ÿšจ Tonight - May 3rd We invite you to light your front porches, lamp posts, house lighting up red in support of national fallen firefighters week. Feel free to show your support in the comments!

Tonight marks the beginning of a powerful nationwide tribute.
From April 26 through May 3, we invite you to take part in Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters by shining a red light on your home, fire station, business, or community landmark.
This simple act creates a meaningful symbol of remembrance and unityโ€”honoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.
Together, we can illuminate the nation in honor of our fallen heroes.

Today is Steve Weber's final shift as he will officially be retired at 0700 tomorrow morning. Steve's career spans decades of dedicated service, guidance, wisdom, and culinary masterpieces. Spending the bulk of his career at station 22, and finishing out at station 28 as a career Captain. Steve, thank you for everything you've done going above and beyond for everyone lucky enough to call you a friend. Feel free to stop by 28s tonight to show him some love or call the station directly at 610-664-9112 so he has to keep getting up out of the recliner. Enjoy retirement buddy, you have earned it.

Thank you to Flanigan's Boathouse for the delicious lunch today as well!

P.S. You're getting docked an hour of pay today as you were late for your shift. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš’
