Thank you for recognizing Chief Harris today. We honor his memory and are proud of his legacy.

Today, as we reflect upon the true meaning of Memorial Day, we pause to remember Assistant Chief Roy A. Harris from the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company who died in the Line of Duty on this date in 1982.

Chief Harris was operating and re-filling a fire engine at a fire pond on Route 82 in the Village of Unionville when he was struck by a motorist. Three other Po-Mar-Lin firefighters were also injured in the collision.

A Chester County native, Chief Harris grew up in West Grove and had served our Country in Vietnam where he suffered serious injuries in an ambush. Living next door to the Unionville firehouse, he worked at Hewlett Packard in Avondale where he was also an Assistant Fire Chief for the company’s fire brigade.

While his death was tragic, his legacy has lived on throughout Chester County. Three of his nephews have since served in various County fire service leadership positions; including two Past Fire Chiefs of the West Grove Fire Company — Chief Robert Weer, Jr. and Chief Jeff Simpson; the latter of whom also served as Past President of the Chester County Fire Chiefs Association; along with Past Chief John Weer of the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company — who is now our current Chief County Fire Marshal.

We will continue to acknowledge Chief Harris’ sacrifice, and we thank those dedicated members of his family who have continued to serve in his honor.

The Longwood Fire Station is a busy place. While sitting with the Chester County Press for an interview, Fire Chief A.J. McCarthy’s phone buzzes with a notification and interrupts his flow.

Thank you for an excellent class The Meter Guys!!!

Baby it was cold out there yesterday but The PO-MAR-LIN FD showed up with an Army of people to take The Meter Guys "When Meters Matter" class in Unionville, PA., only a few miles from Valley Forge! General George Washington would have been proud of your commitment to training during this winter siege! Thanks for having us and please spread the word to your Brothers and Sisters that they need this training because they don't know what they don't know!

Thank you, The Unionville Community Fair for your support!

Thank you to the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company for their dedication to our community—and well beyond it. We are grateful that they are a recipient of one of this year’s Community Fair donations.

As you consider charitable giving this year, please keep Po-Mar-Lin in mind. The cost of new fire trucks, equipment, and replacement parts continues to rise, and community support makes a real difference.
