At the August business meeting of the West Grove Fire Company, volunteer members were honored for their many years of service to both the organization and the community. Commemorative pins were also distributed to nearly two dozen members.

Among those honored for their tenure were Past President Bill "Radar" O'Connell for 55 years, Chief Emeritus John Chambers with 50 years, and Chief Engineer Emeritus Lary Hicks for 40 years of service. We honor these members and all of those who have served as volunteers at the WGFC.
