  • Feast Fit For A Fire House

    Feast Fit For A Fire House

     

    Thursday evenings meal at the Wirt Park fire station was a feast to say the least. Little Everett’s BBQ catered a meal consisting of pulled chicken, ribs, baked beans, potato salad, and we can’t forget whoopee pies for dessert. New York Wire Cloth decided to provide dinner for the Hanover and Penn Township Fire Departments as a way of appreciation for all the fires we have responded to their facilities in 2015 as well as over the years. This was a very generous thing for them to do. The group of twenty including EMS personnel,  firefighters, Deputy Chief Clousher and Assistant Chief Crouse in attendance are extremely grateful.
