The Fire Company participated
in the 2007 Bucks County Fire Parade and Tower 26
Housing sponsored by the Perkasie Fire Company on
June 9, 2007. The day was perfect for a parade
and housing celebration. Many thanks to the Perkasie
Fire Company for such a good meal and fun day. The
company entered two trucks to be judged in the
parade and also provided a rescue cover for Perkasie
who had all of their members involved with running
the event. While Rescue 19 staged at the fire house,
Engine 79-2 and Engine 19-3, along with Utility-19,
took part in the parade. When the dust settled from
the judging, our 1968 Hahn, E-79-2 took home the
best equipped and appearing pumper from 1999 and
older. That means it was competing with trucks 30
years newer. Congratulations to everyone who helped
out with the truck prep and came out to have a good
time. Photos by Sara Grogan and Barbarajean Williams
