Wednesday, November 2, 2011 This past Monday night, the members of Station 62 put aside their usual routine of Monday night drill, and decided to celebrate Halloween. The crew in station sat on the apron of the firehouse and handed out candy to the Trick or Treaters of North Wales. The fire company had the pleasure of meeting two girls who raised $40 for the company selling snow cones. Everyone at North Penn would like to thank Nicole and Caroline for their contribution to the company. It was a great night and we were impressed with all the great costumes we saw. Happy Halloween

Dallas William Hartman
Sunday, October 16, 2011 Borough council has recognized the contributions of Dallas Hartman, (who passed away two months ago). At Tuesday’s public meeting, the elected officials presented Hartman’s daughter and son-in-law with a plaque honoring his many years of service. Karen Gillespie, Hartman’s daughter, agreed to leave the plaque at borough hall. Council president Mike McDonald said the plaque would be positioned near the former location of his desk in the building. “He loved North Wales,” Gillespie said. “And he loved working for the people of this community. That’s all I ever heard from him.” Hartman, who died in August at the age of 85, served the borough in various capacities, including the borough’s fire marshal and code enforcement officer. Council members Mark Tarlecki and Wendy McClure said they recalled seeing him sitting at his deck at borough hall in front of an old electronic typewriter. “He was a pleasure to know,” McClure said. “Dallas was a very good man,” said Barry Hackert, chief of the North Wales Police Department. “Dallas was one of the nicest people I ever knew,” said Mayor Doug Ross. “He was very proud of what (he) did for the borough. And we were always very proud of him.” Hartman knew everything that was going on in the borough, according to solicitor Greg Gifford. A lifetime member of the North Penn Fire Company, he served as its Assistant Chief from 1958 to 1975 and Chief from 1976 to 1981. He also served as President on the company’s board of directors, as well as the borough’s Fire Marshal and Code Enforcer. A life member in the Keystone State Fire Chiefs Association, where he served as vice president and president, Hartman was also active with the Eastern Fire Chiefs Association and International Fire Chiefs. “The length of his service was remarkable,” Councilman Dan O’Connell said during the meeting.

NPVFC setting up for North Wales 2nd Friday
Thursday, October 13, 2011 The third day of Fire Prevention Week was a busy one for the men and women of North Penn. The day started with about 310 more students being taught by a group of fire fighters from North Penn. These students learned about the importance of practicing fire safety regularly with their families, and good daily habits, like sleeping with the door shut to prevent fire travel into the bedroom. Following the visits to schools, North Penn Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched to a vehicle accident stand by, and were placed in service to control fluids running Main Street, North Wales. Following control of the fluids, Station 62 was then dispatched for a vehicle rescue in the area. After performing a vehicle extrication of one patient, crews returned to the first call. After crews went available and returned to quarters, the scene was secured by 62 fire police until the roadway was cleaned up. Don't forget, this Friday is 2nd Friday in North Wales and this Saturday is Hoagie Day for North Penn. Come out to 2nd Friday and meet some of the members of NPVFC and watch some demonstrations of the company's equipment. Also, come out Saturday morning to pick up your supply of member made North Penn Hoagies. This month we will be offering Italian, Tuna and Turkey hoagies. Prices are $4.00 a hoagie. Come out early to make sure you get what you want. We sell until we have nothing left.

Tuesday, October 11, 2011 North Penn spent this Tuesday, their first day in Fire Prevention week, visiting the first group of schools and day cares. North Penn met 60 future firefighters and taught them about what it is like to be a fire fighter. The future fire fighters learned important information like Stop, Drop and Roll, having a meeting place, how 9-1-1 works, smoke detectors and much much more. They were even able to use a real fire hose, and see what it's like to be a member of the fire company. North Penn isn't done yet though. The men and women of North Penn Volunteer Fire Company will spend the next 3 days continuing their 2011 Fire Prevention schedule. Visiting an estimated 380 more students by the end of the week.
