LAWNTON FIRE COMPANY GOES TRICK OR TREATING

10/26/2006 - Engine 44 drove around this evening and handed out candy during trick or treat. They even had time to stop for a picture with Officer Adam Leitzell from the Swatara Police Department. Several residents stopped and thanked the crew for providing extra lighting, everything they do and of course for handing out the candy for the kids. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! (Sorry the picture did not come out very well, amateur photographer.)
