8.11.08 - CHFD Helps Celebrate Deer Park 60th Anniversary

Members past and present filled the engine room to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Deer Park Fire Company. The Fire Co. was created on August 11th, 1948, and has served Cherry Hill in several capacities since then. Currently, they operate as REHAB 13 and respond to counties around the state to provide rehabilitation to emergency workers during extended operations. Captain Larry Colacicco helped pass out several service recognition medals spanning from the completion of one member’s first year of service, all the way to the Department’s former Chief, Dominic Sacca, with 53 years of service.

Cherry Hill Fire Chief Giorgio and Fire Commissioner Campagna were on hand to offer the Board of Fire Commissioners’ recognition of Deer Park, and all it’s members, for the past 60 years.
