The celebration was held at the Crown Plaza in King of Prussia and included live music, food, drinks, an ice sculpture, a Charm City cake, an historical display, and presentations of gifts and awards. The fire company has been saving for this event since the 75th Anniversary. We would like to thank the township and all the surrounding emergency services who have assisted us over the years. We look forward to working hand in hand for another 100 years to serve the public in times of need.
