Letter from Chief Capasso
 
I want to thank the officers and members of the Marcus Hook Trainer Fire Department and Lennox Park Fire Company for all the support you have given me during my 30 years as Fire Chief in this Great organization.
When we merged 3 years ago this was a monumental event that had taken place in Delaware County and many tasks had to be accomplished after the merger was completed. All 3 departments came together ( Marcus Hook, Trainer and Lennox Park ) and the members worked countless hours to make this department what it is today. I want to especially thank all the line officers who supported me during my tenure in office. I wish all the line officers who are moving up in their respective ranks the best of luck in your new position. I know you will be supported totally by the men and women who serve in this great organization. Thanks for everything and may the Lord always be watching over all of you.
 
P.S.: The memories and friends that I have made along the way will last a lifetime.
 
Past Department Chief
Tony Capasso
