  • Happy Father’s Day from IAFF Local 2045

    Happy Father’s Day from IAFF Local 2045

    While firefighters across the country get to spend time with their Father’s today, many have to go to work and be prepared to protect the citizens they serve, as is the case today at the Hanover and Penn Township fire departments, B Shift is on duty this Fathers day.

    While on vacation, Captain Spickler (46-A) and his family visited the Avon Fire Department this Father’s Day in the Outer Banks, posing with son Benjamin and ironically Truck 46. Proof, you can take the fireman out of the firehouse but you can’t take the fire service out of the fireman.

    Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, especially the dads of B Shift who cant be with their dads and children today.

    Captain Miller and Firefighter Parks, along with members of the Greater York Local #627 traveled to the Gretna Glen Camp and Resort to assist the campers in their annual fishing tournament.

With the captains leadership, his team was able to catch a snapping turtle which gained them twenty points, helping them to victory. 

    Local 2045’s Good Will Ambassador, Annistasia was once again in the top bracket for catching ten fish!

    A great big thank  you to the many corporate sponsors including Bass Pro shop.
