Today, members loaded up the Rescue and Squad/QRS to head down to Quarryville for the 89th Annual Lancaster County Fireman's Convention. Members worked many nights to get the apparatus ready for today. The Rescue and Squad/QRS were first judged, than a couple hours later was the parade through Quarryville, and last was the award ceremony. All the hard worked payed off as BOTH pieces came out with awards. The Rescue got 2nd place for Best Appearing and Equipped Rescue/Engine. The Squad/QRS got 3rd place for Best Appearing and Equipped BLS Unit. Good job to all the members who helped out this year!!!! The members would like to thank Silverdale Fire Company for coming down this year to stand by for us while we were at Convention. They handled 2 calls while while we were at convention. Thank you!
