It's with deep grief and sadness that the members of the Ogontz Fire Company observe the passing of our former chief, Charlie Farrington. Charlie joined Ogontz as a firefighter in 1966 at the age of 16. He served Ogontz for 54 plus years, achieving the ranks of Lieutenant, Captain, Deputy Chief and Chief, a position to which he was re-elected for a record 26 years. Charlie was our leader and mentor, and above all a true friend to each of us. Many current and previous Ogontz members still refer to Charlie as "my Chief".

Charlie personally recruited me and many more into service

Our hearts are with his wife Carole, his daughter Ericha, his siblings Jeanne, Susan, and Steve and his nieces and nephews at this difficult time.

Ogontz Fire Company as well as most Volunteer companies, are forever in debt to those who have served!

Many started in the fire department as young people, gained a taste for serving others and then jumped in to Armed Forces to serve our great country. Many came to us after serving, both in peace and times of War.

We thank you for your service!

On this somber date, the anniversary of the township desertification of Ogontz Fire, we wish to once again thank our supporters.
We also wish our fellow Cheltenham community Happy Holidays and pray for your safety always.
We have continued to serve our neighbors wherever we can. We have loaned our resources and equipment to area fire companies and remain ready to serve in new ways in the near future.
Best wishes to all!
