On October 4, 1970 the West End Fire and Rescue Company dedicated their new firehouse on Lurgan Avenue. The event featured guest speakers, the SASHS and town bands along with refreshments. The building was dedicated in memory of W. Mervin Fogelsanger, who died February 17, 1969 while assisting firemen at the scene of a large blaze on East King Street. The Company broke ground for the building October 4, 1969 and moved into the building in June 1970.Left to right in the above photograph are G. Crawford Wiestling, Fire Chief; D. Elmer Hawbaker, state senator; William Duncan, President and R. Harry Bittle, state representative.
