Hey I'm a chief out in York county and saw you guys out on a call recently! You guys really are hores and I hope I can build my department to be as good as you all.
I was visiting my daughter for Christmas, and had the pleasure of seeing Santa visit the Northwoods housing tract on Sunday, December 24
Santa was scheduled to ride our engine in our "fire district" on
Sunday, December 17 and unfortunately we had to respond to
a house fire.
Our neighboring fire company was able to bring Santa to our
residents so that the kids weren't disappointed.
Wishing all of you at Modena Fire Company a Happy New Years
from all of us at Kirkville Fire Company.

Wanted to thank the Modena Fire Company and the Ambulance crew that responded to our home on 12/14/2016 for my mother. I do not remember the name of the crew, but they both did a great Job. The EMT was great at helping to calm my mother down to assist her breathing and they are a highly professional service.
We all need to realize how important these services are and the length the volunteers of these companies go, to provide services for the community. We NEED to support these companies with a decent tax for all they do for free!

Back in 1977, while a nursing student at the old Coatesville Hospital, I joined station 37 to run fire and ambulance calls. A time when "Bear" was the Assistant Chief and Davis Pluck was an awesome ff/EMT friend. The archived apparatus pics brought back some good memories. My most humorous memory while running as an EMT was a call for an "equestrian accident". Having no idea at the time what an equestrian accident was, i jumped at the chance to take the run. Davis and I and another EMT responded with the old Caddy. After responding, I turned to Davis and asked him what the heck an equestrian accident was. He turned and looked at me in amazement and said why it's a horse accident. As it was Mrs. Hannum's old mare had died mid-air while jumping over jump and landed on top of Mrs. Hannum. It was an interesting and enlightening call.
Time has brought much change for you guys as well as better equipment. Your new engine is pretty sweet as is all your apparatus.Use it well guys, keep up the good work, and stay safe. God's best to you all.
Thank you guys again for having me down to the station to shoot the apparatus. I really appreciate it and appreciate all the nice comments. Looking forward to working with you in the future as well. If you ever need me you know how to get me.

How's your new engine? Please send us some pictures after your make over to engine 37. Thanks Larry
I just wanted to say "great job" in regards to the recent fire in Manchester
Farms development. The story and pictures of rescuing the two dogs
are amazing !!
I am a firefighter in Upstate New York. My daughter lives in the
Northwoods development across from Manchester Farms and
kept me abreast of the fire.
We responded to a similar fire as a mutual aid company earlier this
Spring. A dog was in the garage overnight, and alerted a young boy
with his barking, The boy in turn alerted his parents... They evacuated
the home. We came upon a fully involved fire.... The "D" side
collapsed into the driveway. Unfortunately the dog did not survive.
I consider the dog a hero, as he alerted the family before the smoke
alarms "went off".
Wanted to check out my cousin's fire station(corles) good looking dept.

My late husband was a volunteer for a dept in Cherokee County, OK, and always so proud of his time with them.
I have a herd of little Dachshunds.
So the story of these little dogs and their rescue touches me immensely!!
Thank you! Thank you for the time and the resources and the empathy and just everything. It is these small moments that lift the soul and lighten the spirit. If I were closer, I'd bake y'all brownies.
Again, thank you dear sirs!!

I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to all of you for the loss of your past Chief
Leon Pluck. My prayers are with his family.
I share one thing in common with Leon, having received my original EMT certification
during the same year in 1973-74. I am sure that his EMS experiences will be
remembered by many of you.

To Paul's immediate and extended fire services family, I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Paul a very long time ago when he took Fire 1 and he was one of my students. His good sense of humor was often tempered by love of family and friends. Paul spoke of his extended family and what this job meant to him. I find the words of William Shakespear to come to mind;
The end of this day's business ere it come!
But it sufficeth that the day will end,
And then the end is known.
For ever, and for ever, farewell.
If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
If not, why then, this parting was well made.
Rest well my brother.

I wanted to thank all of you for the sweet jester when it comes to my Uncle Jerry. I am one of his nieces and was so touched by the page that you did for him. Thank you for everything you have done for my Aunt Lucy and Uncle Alfred and all the many cousins as well. God knows right now with the loss of Uncle Jerry everyone is hurting because he was such a special person. It is hard to believe how many lives 1 person can touch.
My daughter and her family recently moved to E Fallowfield Township.
Santa visited their neighborhood.
I come to visit frequently. I would like to visit your fire company.
Your website is awesome !!
