On July 1, 2024, BAF&R celebrated ten years of operations serving the Boyertown area Community. We served Boyertown Borough, Colebrookdale Township and the northern half of Douglass Township in Berks County. We also serve as the Berks County Technical Rescue Team handling Trench and Structure Collapse calls as well as Confined Space and High Angle rescues.
The Community has always supported us and when we asked for financial help to hold this celebration the community stepped up and provided the funding. The following are Sponsors of this event:
Platinum Event Sponsor – Friendship Hook & Ladder
Gold Plus Event Sponsor – Roger & Gloria Daniels Charity
Gold Event Sponsors – Gabelsville Athletic Association, Martin Stone Quarries, St. John’s Church, Fred Beans Ford, Brook Ledge, Inc, and Tompkins Vist Bank
Silver Event Sponsors – American Legion Post 471, E. Kenneth Nyce Law, Denney Electric Supply, Longacre Company, and Chestnut Knoll
Event Sponsors – Herb Real Estate, Brumbach Associates, Zimmer’s Pets, Toss of the Town, Joseph’s Styling Salon, Boyd & Karver PC, Erb & Henry Equipment, State Theatre, and Reinhart & Company.
Commendations and awards were presented to numerous members and congratulation presentations were given by State Representative David Maloney, Colebrookdale Commissioner’s Chairman and Friendship Hook & Ladder Board member Todd Gamler, Eastern Berks Fire Chief Mike Mutter and Boyertown Community Ambulance Chief Jim Boyer.
The food and service at Brookside was phenomenal and everyone had a great time enjoying several hours with their spouses, significant other and friends not worrying about responding to calls as we were out of service and covered by Birdsboro Fire and Paoli Fire standing by at our Warwick Street Station. Thanks to these two Companies for covering our Community while we celebrated ten years in service.
