The emergency calls were as follows:

Investigations on:
Special duty standby at Conestoga and Newcomen Roads for a fireworks display

Precipitation for June was normal for the month. We remain under a drought emergency. Please continue to follow the water conservation measures as outlined by the county and state.
One fireworks display permit was issued. Under the provisions of our ordinance, all fireworks displays must have a permit. With the Fourth of July holiday imminent, be sure to apply for a fireworks permit at least two weeks before any intended display.
The FEMA Evaluator's preliminary report for our Emergency Operations Center participation in the biennial Limerick Nuclear Generating Station Drill on May 7, 2002 showed NO deficiencies for our EOC. This coming just after the PEMA Observer's positive report reiterates that our EOC staff members are very professional and do an excellent job. I would like to again thank all who participate in the EOC.
Respectfully submitted,
Frederick C. Alston
Fire Marshal / Emergency Management Coordinator
