Congratulations Chief Myers!

At last month's fire advisory board meeting, the Shippensburg Fire Departments were awarded the state fire prevention award.

After receiving the award, the chiefs of West End and Vigilant Hose Company #1 presented long time Vigilant Hose Fire Chief Charlie Myers with the award, for starting the fire prevention program.

Thank you Charlie for your dedication to the department and the community, and congrats to all the members of the West End and Vigilant Hose.
