The LFC Re-launches “The Lafayette Siren”

 October 16, 2020

On March 7th, 1946, the Lafayette Fire Company printed the first version of “The Lafayette Siren”, a progressive fireman’s paper that was distributed monthly. This literature featured articles that were directly related to news and events surrounding the local fire service. Following three years of production, this paper was merged with the Lancaster County Fireman Magazine, a predecessor of the current-day Pennsylvania Fireman magazine which is still printed today.

We are excited to announce a re-launch of “The Lafayette Siren”. This will hopefully be a monthly newsletter that is distributed electronically. The document will feature news and events that surround the Lafayette Fire Company and the community we serve. The first issue, October 2020, is now ready to be viewed and is attached to the bottom of this post (PDF form). Please take a look at the stories and articles we have shared. If you have anything of interest that you think would be a benefit to share within the pages of “The Lafayette Siren”, please feel free to reach out to us! We welcome your feedback, please let us know what you like or think could be improved.

Our 2nd annual Fasnachts for Fassnacht event is live! Preorder your fasnachts (1 dozen powdered/glazed mix sourced from Bird-in-Hand Bakery). We will have limited sales of Fasnachts for drive-thru pickup February 15th 5-7pm and February 16th 6-10am. While we celebrate Fasnacht Day, we also are celebrating the life of our late member, Jan Fasnacht, who was an extraordinary community servant serving as an East Lampeter Township police officer, local EMS provider and Lafayette volunteer.

Just after rush hour, Engine and Truck Company 63 were dispatched to the area of Old Philadelphia Pike and Sage Drive for a reported Chimney Fire, with mutual aid from Witmer Fire Protective Association and Bird-in-Hand Fire Company.

Upon the arrival of Chief 62 (Sherman) and Lieutenant 63-1 (Long) the residence was located closer to Old Philadelphia Pike and Backwalter Road, making it a Company 62 call.

Truck 63 sent the bucket to the roof to examine the chimney for any fire that remained in it, while engine companies removed the burning material from inside of the residence.

Be sure to have your chimneys cleaned and inspected annually!
