On Sunday, the Emerald Hook & Ladder Company in Wellsville was one of several agencies that responded to a fully involved house fire in Genesee, PA. However, the day before, several of its members took time out to remember many of their own family.
According to Emerald's Captain Garrett Gardner...at 2 p.m. Saturday, some of the Emeralds gathered together and
delivered fruit baskets to the widows of past members. Members delivered 12 baskets to, either widowed wives of
passed members, sick current members and one to sister Alice Roach from ICS and
one to the Catholic Church priest. It's called...community!
