Well guys it's that time of year where we normally try and start getting things decided and start getting things lined up to do our care baskets for our first responders. This year is going to be the most difficult one yet. I have been trying to figure out how to do it all this year as I am not up to my normal par. I have lots of appointments this year as I am battling cancer myself and have a lot of down days and financial difficulties with having to pay for my treatments and you all know these kind of things are not cheap but it is what it is . I am asking if there is anyone interested in making goodies or donating the stuff to help make treats, snacks, backed goods etc. if so please reach out to me by text message 570-404-5280. We would like to add a few more first responder gurps to our list this year hoping we can make this happen. i know I might be biting off more than I can chew this year but.
I love our first responders and all they do for people in the community every day. They are over worked and underpaid and put in harm's way all the time but take pride in helping. They deserve a special thank you each year and I am asking you to help us make this year work to get them the best baskets we can. We would like to do 15 of them this year. Please if you feel you can help in any way reach out to me. I can give a list of stuff that can help us in making this possible.
Thank you in advance... God bless 🙏

The Elk Run Volunteer Fire Company was organized in January, 1922, by nearly one hundred citizens of the Second Ward, with the following officers: President, James Padden: Vice President, WA. Stokes; Secretary, Robed Morgan; and Treasurer, Fred Nouen.

Meetings were held for some time in the Gutelius Store. That same year the company purchased from George W. Stokes one of the best sites in Second Ward on Elk Run Avenue. No funds were available for a building and meetings were held in the A4cKean Han Planing Mill until the Spring of 1924, when through the financial aid of Burgess W.C. Tibby a one-story building was erected on the lot owned by the company at a cost of $6~. This building allowed room for the International Chemical Truck formerly in service at West End Fire Company.

The company was chartered in 1927; that same year it was necessary to add a second story to the building. Room was thus made for the American LaFrance Chemical and Hose Truck, which the borough had recently purchased for use. These alterations in the building, which were made at an expense of over $10, provided a meeting room on the second floor. This room is also used as the Election House of the Second Ward. Second Precinct, as the meeting place of the American Legion Drum Corps, and of the Elk Run Volunteer Fire Company Boys Band, which this company has sponsored.
