The members of the West Reading Fire Department extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and members of the Reading Fire Department on the passing of retired Chief Rehr.

Chief Rehr dedicated his life to serving the citizens of Reading and the fire service community with honor, leadership, and commitment. His contributions to the profession and the impact he had on those who served alongside him will not be forgotten.

It is with profound sadness that the Reading Area Fire Museum announces the passing of our beloved President and valued Board Member, William H.

His vision, commitment, and countless contributions helped make the museum a treasured resource for generations. We extend our deepest condolences to Bill’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

The fire service and museum community have lost a truly remarkable individual. Funeral and memorial service details will be shared as they become available.
