The Alert volunteers gathered, last evening to celebrate our accomplishments of 2019. Normally, the members of the Downingtown Fire Dept. gather for a formal dinner banquet every March to celebrate the previous year. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions, the formal banquet was canceled and each company decided host a smaller event at each firehouse for our members.
After a catered dinner by St Anthony’s Restaurant, President Bob Siter and Assistant Chief Jeff Trego presented the following awards:
- Firefighter of the Year – Mike McCarraher
