Today, members traveled up Route 30 in Wayne, PA for Radnor Fire Company’s 100th Anniversary Parade. Members of the Station 21 worked non-stop for about a week to prepare the Rescue for the parade by cleaning, painting, and labeling equipment. Our hard work paid off when it was announced that we place second in the Light Rescue category. Although we took second place, Lower Merion had a clean sweep with Bryn Mawr taking first place. Thanks to the crew of Dave Watrous, Dan Gilbert, Mark Gilbert, Seth Berman, Steve Kaercher, Chris Millay, Sean Reilly, Tony Molchany, Chrissy Neely, and Zack Ruth for making this such a successful event.
