In the history of the Wexford Volunteer Fire Company, we have experienced the heartbreaking loss of two long standing chiefs.
In the history of the Wexford Volunteer Fire Company, we have experienced the heartbreaking loss of two long standing chiefs.
On October 22nd, 1970, Chief Clarence Hartman was working at a residential structure fire in Bradford Woods Borough when he experienced a heart attack during overhaul. Chief Hartman had served as chief since 1958.
Chief Kenneth Young passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on November 6th, 2011. Ken was active as chief up until the last few weeks of his life. He was officially designated as Chief Emeritus and received a special citation for his service from the state legislature prior to his death. Chief Emeritus Young served in the position of chief since 1987.
We honor these two chiefs who dedicated so much to the Wexford Volunteer Fire Company. We are forever indebted to their service.
Life membership is a special honor bestowed on members who complete 20 years of service with the company. Many of these members serve much longer than 20 years and in many extra capacities from line officers to executive board members to special committee members. By attaining life membership, the names of these dedicated members will always be a part of the Wexford Volunteer Fire Company. We will always remember and honor their contributions to this organization and community.
