Wexford Wins First Annual 'Benny Bowl'

Wexford joined Marshall and Bradfordwoods in a friendly soccer tournament on Tuesday, October 7 at the Marshall Middle School Campus. There was one catch for the players in this tournament, everyone had to wear full firefighting gear with breathing apparatus while playing the game. The event was intended to provide an opportunity for the firefighters of the three different companies a chance to get to know eachother, and learn personal air consumption rates. We won the privilege to display the 'Benny Bowl' (pictured above) at our station for the next year. The companies will compete again next fall for a chance to bring home the Benny Bowl. Our thanks to Marshall and Bradfordwoods for coordinating this event.

Wexford and Richland Firefighters Team Up for Rope Class

We joined forces with the Richland VFC to host a rope/high angle rescue class from the PA State Fire Academy's local level training syste. Firefighters learned rope rigging and repelling techniques in the class. For additional pictures, visit our photo album.

New Station Progress

The Township has recently approved funding that will allow us to have our final construction documents started. Progress continues, and we have recently decided to move our start of construction from this fall to March 2009. This will help eliminate construction delays that are typically associated with the winter months.

We would like to thank Dominic Gigliotti and The Village of Pine L.P. for site development work contributed to our new main station site at the intersection of North Chapel Drive and Wexford Road (Route 910). Any residents or businesses who may be interested in contributing funding or services to this project are encouraged to leave a message at (724) 935-1491. A member of our building committee will be in contact with you soon after receiving your message.
