 <![CDATA[North Penn Vol. Fire Co. would like to thank local resident, Jeremy, and his mother for stopping by the station Monday afternoon and getting a tour. Jeremy and his mother noticed Engine 62 backing into the station, walked over and asked to see it.&nbsp;North Penn is proud that whenever the bay doors are open, members of our community&nbsp;are welcomed to stop in and get a tour. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, if you are ever walking down Main Street, North Wales and see an open bay door on the firehouse and a firefighter standing outside, feel free to ask about the trucks, gear or the duties they perform for the community. A North Penn Firefighter will always be willing to answer, and if you're interested, they can tell you how you can serve the community as a member of the fire company. A fire company that has been protecting and serving since 1888 as North Wales Hose Co. 1 and as North Penn Vol. Fire Co. 62 since 1930....]]>
