When a call comes in, the volunteers of Lansford's American Fire Co. #1 don't hesitate to haul themselves out of bed at 2 a.m., pull themselves away from family dinners or give up that evening on the couch after a hard day's work.
All they ask in return is for each family to kick in a few dollars to help keep the lights on and the engines running.
The fire company has launched its annual fund drive.
