Station 5 is the recipient of another Eagle Scout project. Likhit Kumar Manga of Troop 78 recently completed the restoration of the decorative siren on our property. This siren was active for decades at our fire station located on Planebrook Road. When 911 calls were dispatched, the siren would sound out, calling the volunteers to the station.

The need for the siren was replaced by advances in technology such as pagers and mobile phone apps. When we moved to our new location, the siren was brought over and placed on display in the yard as a reminder of our history.

The Eagle Scout is the highest achievement attainable in the Boy Scouts of America program. It represents a culmination of years of dedication, leadership, and service. To achieve this rank, scouts must earn a variety of merit badges, demonstrate proficiency in outdoor skills, and complete a significant service project benefiting their community. Becoming an Eagle Scout not only signifies mastery of scouting principles but also reflects a commitment to personal growth, service to others, and leadership development, shaping individuals who are prepared to make positive contributions to society.

The East Whiteland Volunteer Fire Company would like to thank Likhit for his efforts and wish him luck on his journey to achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
