Life Celebration for Jane Gordon

Nov. 20th. Just over 3 and a half months ago our Asst Chief, Gary Gordon and his wife Janea were involved in a motorcycle accident where Janea lost her life and Gary was severely injured. While Gary has been released from the hospital and is now in a Rehab Center, he still has every long and hard road ahead. The family had a celebration of life for Janea Gordon at the Wyndam Garden Hotel in Exton. Janea was a life member of the fire company, served on the board, and had helped the fire company out in many other ways. It was with great honor that the company attended the celebration.

Thank you to station 23 (Avondale) who sent their rescue to cover calls while our members were at the event.

Units: Engine 39-1, Rescue 39, Utility 39, command 39
