“My favorite color is Christmas
lights.”
The Cetronia Volunteer Fire
Department is festooned and “fired up” for Christmas as Christmas lights frame
the building with the holiday spirit in the Borough of Cetronia, Allentown,
Pennsylvania on a mid-December evening.
Cetronia Volunteer Fire Department
is located at 3950 Broadway, Allentown. It operates 1 Engine Company, 1 Rescue
Engine, 1 Ladder Tower, and 1 Utility. It responds to about 700 calls a year
ranging from vehicle accidents to working dwelling fires. Currently, the
firehouse has about 25-30 active volunteers dedicating time not only to running
calls, but training, fire prevention, and house work. The department meets every
Monday night at 6 p.m. for its weekly drill. Stop by anytime the doors are open
for a tour or an application.
The department’s 2019 Santa Run
will take place December 21. Starting with a departure from the firehouse at 10
a.m., Santa will be escorted around the department’s first-due area by its
fleet of fire trucks and its members.
