                  HONORING THE GLEN MOORE FIRE COMPANY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 12, 2015

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Glen Moore 
Fire Company on its 100th anniversary of serving and protecting 
families in Chester County.
  Glen Moore's first apparatus was horse-drawn. It was bought for $100 
in 1915 after local residents saw the need for fire protection in the 
community. Since then, the Company has grown and thrived and the Glen 
Moore area now benefits from the protection of a highly-trained team of 
expert officers and members, modern apparatus and equipment.
  Mr. Speaker, in 2014 alone, the Glen Moore Fire Company responded to 
more than 300 incidents--one every 29 hours. We are grateful to the 
fine firefighters of the Glen Moore Fire Company and I wish them 
another 100 years of success in serving the community.
