Memorial/Remembrance

There have been many dedicated community members, some of which were charter members that had the foresight to see the need for emergency services in Upper Saucon Township. Over the years, there have been so many that it would be impossible to list individuals and not miss someone. We do not want to overshadow the accomplishments of any one. Some gave little, some gave a lot, and one gave everything.

It is here the Upper Saucon Fire Department wishes to dedicate and give heartfelt thanks to All that have served and given freely of their time to the residents of Upper Saucon Township and the Upper Saucon Volunteer Fire Department.
