“I want to congratulate the Williamsburg Volunteer Fire Department on 100 years of service to our community.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Williamsburg Volunteer Fire Department for 100 years of service. Founded in 1926, the volunteer fire department has evolved into a professionally trained emergency response team that averages more than 300 calls per year. In addition to its responsibilities within the borough, the fire department also provides mutual aid to several companies throughout Blair and Huntingdon Counties. The fire department proudly notes that 16 of its members are lifetime members who have served the department for 25 years or longer. On behalf of everyone in the 13th Congressional District, I congratulate Fire Chief Travis Prough and all members of the Williamsburg Volunteer Fire Department on 100 years of distinguished service.”
