Hello world! Welcome To The Gettysburg Pennsylvania Blog
Cats: York Springs|Yesterday, for instance, my wife and I went to the York Springs Fire Hall for a luncheon. This is something we do every year with her grandparents. It’s an event I don’t expect to see a lot of visitors at, but visitors are always welcome, of course. You have to get tickets and all of the money goes to a good cause - it’s a fund raiser for the volunteer fire department.
To me, volunteer fire departments represent what America is about. These are truly community organizations and the volunteers are doing real community work. Without them, I can’t tell you how many homes we might lose to fires every year, or how many other emergencies might take place without someone to address them. Benjamin Franklin gave us the first volunteer fire department and I think this is one American institution that has stayed the course and deserves to be around for a long time. I really appreciate the volunteers who help us handle our local emergencies.
