The Waynesburg Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company was given an Outstanding Citizenship Award by the Pennsylvania State Police. The award was given for the fire company’s response to gasoline tanker that was on fire on Interstate 79 in Washington Township. The fire occurred on February 23, 2010. PSP Waynesburg Barracks nominated the fire company for this award.                                                                                  

The incident had a positive outcome that would not have been such if it were not for the coordinated response provided by PSP Waynesburg, the Waynesburg Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company, PennDOT, numerous mutual aid fire companies, and other support organizations. I big thank you goes out from the Fire Company to each and every one that helped with this response.

The Waynesburg Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company has a very positive relationship with the personnel at the Waynesburg Barracks. This relationship enables the fire company and the Troopers to work professionally and respectfully with each other at emergency scenes.

Again we wish to thank the Supervisors, Troopers, and other staff at the Waynesburg Barracks for nominating the Waynesburg Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company for this Award.
