Established 1956
Annual Open House
Every year the members work on cleaning up the apparatus, the station, and themselves to invite the community into our station. Sunday June 29 was a fun filled day for everyone that showed up despite a small rain shower. This year we had Frederick County's house on wheels, McGruff showed up with the Sheriff's Dept. crime scene unit, Pluggie the fire hydrant from the ANG, Suzie the clown, and Medic 98. We had events throughout the day such as a dunking booth, two extrication demonstrations, fire extinguisher demonstrations and gave away food and drinks to everyone that was hungry. Special thanks to Jenny Bartley for organizing this event and all the members for their hard work.

Company 20 set up at two different locations, one at exit 5 Interstate 81 and the other in front of our station. We would like to thank our local Sheetz, McDonalds, and Burger King for giving our lunch to us free of charge. The total from all of the county volunteer fire departments was over $15,000. (WOW)
