Today, some members participated in the 50th Annual Red Rose Run here in Lancaster! Along with the participants, Ladder 1 was on stand by with 2 UTVs staffed with members to provide EMS needs throughout the course. Thankfully, even with almost 2000 runners, only a small handful needed our assistance.
