New Aerial Fire Truck The new aerial fire truck is pictured operating at the scene of a house fire in August 2018. The aerial was purchased from Rosenbauer America through Kaza Fire Equipment and placed in-service by the department in July 2018. The truck replaced a 2000 Ferrara 75' aerial that was sold to Charleroi Fire Department earlier in the year. Green Thumb Award Congratulations to Summit Physical Therapy and McMenamin Insurance Group on winning the 3rd Annual Green Thumb Award. The Green Thumb Award is an annual award given to a local business by the Environmental Quality Board. The board acknowledges one business each year that shows a commitment to our township's community spirit and beautification. They look for businesses that maintain a clean storefront and add to the beautification of their street through landscape design or other natural efforts. Willhaven Partners, which is owned by Nicholas J. Martin and Mark Mascio of Summit Physical Therapy, and Dan McNemain of McMenamin Insurance Group, came together in 2010 to build the new office building situated on Willhaven Drive and facing Route 19. Dan has incorporated many flowers passed down to him from his grandmother’s yard in Philadelphia, and he continues to add and edit each year. Mark and Nick have also incorporated their landscaping skills by helping to pick the plants and tress adorning the hillside between the parking lots and surrounding grassy areas. The landscaping and building appearance are something that both businesses take great pride in, and they are honored to be recognized for their efforts.
