Community Supporting Chews Landing Fire Dept.
Over the last several months, Chews Landing Fire Dept. has received a number of donations from local residents and businesses. From meals to masks, to cleaning supplies and PPE, the support we’ve gotten from the community during the Covid-19 pandemic has been amazing. Two of our most recent donations came in the form of hoagies from the Wawa located just across the street from our station, and protective masks for our members from Heather, Vera, and Connor Ward of Runnemede Scout Troop 117. We would like to take this time to thank them, as well as all of the others that have kept us in their thoughts through these trying times. As you have been here for us, we will continue to be here for all of you.
