West Bradford Day 2007

May 20 - The members of the West Bradford Fire Company participated in the Township's annual Community Day at Shadyside Park. The members mingled with the residents, gave tours of the fire apparatus, and the Apprentice Firefighters put on a vehicle rescue demonstration, completing a roof removal in less than 9 minutes, a time that would rival most senior's times! After the Apprentices completed their work on the car, a couple of Senior firefighters decided to cut the car completely in half, just for fun. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and offered support. See you next year!!!
