2009 was another eventful and productive year for the Quarryville Fire Company Number One.  We were able to answer many alarms (one of the busiest years in QFD history) and accomplish many projects.  One of the large projects was being host of the 2009 LCFA Fireman's Parade and Convention in June.  Here is a rundown of some of the many hours members spent participating in fire company functions in 2009.

• We ran 472 total fire calls, 390 of which were emergency responses to 911 calls.
• During those calls, members accumulated 9,281 man-hours of volunteer service.
• Members spent 2,080 man-hours in training.
• Fund-raising efforts totaled 1,031 man-hours.
• Members spent 572 man-hours doing fire safety education.
• Other company functions, including station cleaning, details, meetings and maintenance racked up 1,686 total man-hours.

If you total all of these man-hours up, it equals 14,650 man-hours for the year.  These numbers show the tremendous dedication that the members of your local fire company have.  Thank you to all the members of the Company that have made 2009 another great year.  Thanks also to all of the numerous municipal leaders, business owners and residents that continuously contribute to the Company to help us maintain the level of service that we provide.
