West Ridge FD to supply assistance to McKean Hose Company

Thursday, Aug. 24, 2017

It was publicly announced during a press conference held last evening that the McKean Hose Company will be contracting with Millcreek Township’s West Ridge Fire Department to provide two part-time personnel for service at McKean Hose Co. on Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Deputy Chief Jim Pyle, who has been involved with McKean Hose Co. since 1974, said more Erie-area volunteer fire departments are adding part-time or full-time paid staff to combat the trend of declining volunteers, especially during the week.  The full story can be found at GoErie.com
