Tim Lohan of the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund’s Pennsylvania Chapter accepting donated fire equipment from Fire Chief Mark Antozzeski of Hamilton Township Fire District 9.
Hamilton Township Fire District #9 has announced the donation of surplus firefighting equipment to the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund. The donated equipment are SCOTT self-contained breathing apparatus which are used by firefighters to provide them with fresh air while working inside smoky and hazardous conditions.
Terry Farrell was a father, a husband, a brother and a dedicated FDNY firefighter who lost his life on September 11, 2001, during the World Trade Center attack. The Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund was established in Terry’s memory to assist firefighters and families across the nation with financial, educational and medical support and to provide equipment donations for fire departments in need.
The donated equipment from District #9 included 17 air packs and 25 masks. This donated equipment is 15 years old. Erin Brown, the National Coordinator of The Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, said the equipment will be processed through their Pennsylvania Chapter of the Farrell Fund where they have many departments in need of this equipment.
