Recently, the Dallas Texas Fire Department invited Chase Frost to their annual awards banquet. Chase received a standing ovation from over 500 guests in attendance. Later that evening Chase was made an Honorary member of the Dallas Fire Department. They also presented Chase with a plaque made of patches from other local fire departments.

Tonight members voted to purchase a 2006 Seagrave Marauder II Demo to replace our 1989 Pierce Dash that has served the Boro of Parkside for almost 20 years. The new Tac 45 will be going back to Seagrave next week to have some work done. The new Tac 45 should be in service in the month or two.
