On behalf of the Vigilance Hose Company No., I want to congratulate Keith on his years of dedicated service. We have a very good relationship with Upper Nazareth and work very well together when the alarm sounds. Keith is a major component within our relationship and the Upper Nazareth Fire Department and does an outstanding job. Well deserved my brother!
