🚒🚨Fire trucks but no fire! 🚨🚒

It’s the annual Shartlesville Volunteer Firemans’ Parade! Volunteer fire companies from far and wide come for the day-long event – including 15 minutes worth of sirens and waving that goes right past our house. Thanks to all the brave men and women who are fire & rescue volunteers! 🚒💖🚒

This morning the Upper Pottsgrove Fire Company will be at the intersection of Gilbertsville and Farmington for a boot drive if you are in the area please drive with care

Good morning everyone, today the Easter Bunny will be hiding eggs at the township park in Heather Place next to the Police station. The Egg hunt will start at 10 but the Fire Company will help set up starting at 8. The Easter Bunny just wants to remind everyone to be respectful but have a good time.
