WEFR's second patch used until the present patch was adopted in May 1977. I never found documentation on when they began to use this patch but I would think it was after they adopted the orange and white colors for fire apparatus in 1973.

Mobile Home Fire Leaves Family Homeless
On February 2, 1972 at 2:45 p.m. firemen were alerted to a mobile home fire on the Orrstown Road, Southampton Township, Franklin County. An electrical short sparked a blaze that gutted a bathroom and bedroom in an occupied mobile home. The remainder of the house suffered heat and smoke damage. Firefighters from three companies had the blaze under control quickly. Damages were estimated at $6,000. The West End Fire and Rescue and Vigilant Hose Company battled the blaze.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
Brad,
ReplyDeleteIf memory serves me right, the orange and white patch was designed by Ron Coleman. You are right on the date. It was developed just after West End went to Orange and White in 1972-3.

Thanks, CW I know we used the patch until May 1977 when the current one was adopted. I hope you are enjoying your weather, it is snowing here this morning. Brad
