John Moran Sr. 5th Anniversary of His LODD
On the night of August 29, 2022, (the five-year anniversary of Chief John T. Moran, Sr.’s, passing in 2017, after attending two incidents and a training exercise. He was 71). our members and members of the Moran family traveled to the Montgomery County Fire Academy in Conshohocken to honor and remember Chief Moran.
His name is now etched onto the memorial alongside others who have answered the last alarm in Montgomery County. John Moran, Sr., was a former chief at the Perkiomen Township Fire Company who served in that capacity for 20 years and spent more than five decades with the agency. He also worked as Perkiomen Township’s Fire Marshal for about 15 years.
The lights at Station 66 were turned red on August 29 in honor of John Moran, Sr.
