The Doylestown Fire Company's
Fire Prevention Unit made it's annual visit to the
Doylestown Branch of the Bucks County Free Library
on Saturday, Sept. 20, as the guest readers for
children's story time. The weekly event is a program
at the library for toddlers and pre-K children. This
year's event was significant, because in addition to
this being the 5th year the fire company has read to
the kids, one of those kids was a reader. Megan
Browne, 7. Megan, the daughter of Doylestown Fire
Company's Fire Prevention Officer Larry Browne, is
the inspiration for the visits, because when she
started attending the program, it gave her father an
idea. When presented to children's librarian Roberta
Yackovitch, it was accepted quickly and
enthusiastically. This year the reading was attended
by over 40 kids, their parents, and Doyle, the fire
company's Dalmatian mascot. In addition to the
younger Browne, father Larry and associate member
Paul Cain read children's books on firefighters and
firefighting to the kids. Doyle and firefighters
Chris Morris and Jenna Fetterolf were there to lend
a hand with tours of Doylestown's Engine 19-1 in the
parking lot on the beautiful Saturday morning.
