The night was a great success, with a total of 1347 scoops sold. CSFC handed out balloons, hats, and gave truck tours to the children, as well as the adults! CSFC would like to thank everyone who attended and supported their local firefighters.
CSFC welcomes home two local heroes!
On January 6, 2010 CSFC joined in welcoming home two local heroes, Army MP Spec. Erica Walsh and her cousin SGT. Michael C Weinstein. This welcoming was special because Erica did not know that she would be greeted by her cousin Michael, who was returning from Iraq. He surprised her at the baggage terminal and from there they were escorted all the way home. CSFC crews along with Whitpain Police joined the escort through Whitpain to Spec. Walsh's home, were they were met by nearly 100 welcoming people. Tower 33 proudly displayed the American Flag over the entrance to the neighborhood. CSFC would like to thank everyone who attended, and would like to once again welcome home two of our local heroes.
