The campaign raised enough to cover the 2022 payment on the loan for new unit 1760. The rest of the money is going toward repairs, and equipment upgrades like new radios which are now in use.

The LHRS put 1005 miles on the new unit and 901 miles on unit 1761 through the end of May. In

May, crews were out 32 times in Lake Harmony, 5 times into Monroe County, and once into White Haven. Units also went out on 12 fire alarm calls.

The LHRS holds their annual fundraising breakfast at Split Rock Resort Town Center on Sunday, July 2, 8 a.m. to noon. $10 adults, $5 for children, under 5 free.

Volunteers will be selling t-shirts, hats and sweatshirts. There will be a 50/50 ticket, and Parade of Boats tickets will be on sale (cash prizes of $1000, $1000, $500, $500, $250, $250, $100, $100, $50, $50).

NASCAR weekend July 22 and 23, the LHRS will be at Lake Harmony Beverage with their hot dog fundraiser. Stop by for a hot dog and to make a donation.
