The Berwyn Fire Company participated in the 14th Annual Upper Main Line Y Emergency Services Day in Berwyn. The event is coordinated jointly by the Berwyn and Paoli fire companies, along with the support of the Eastern Chester County Firefighters Association. This annual event allows children to meet their area first responders in a controlled environment. There were numerous activities the children were able to watch and participate in during this highlight of the summer camp season.

First responders stopped by and showed off their gear and equipment to over 250 campers from the following organizations:

Berwyn Fire Company
Paoli Fire Company
Radnor Fire Company
Malvern Fire Company
East Whiteland Fire Company
Valley Forge Volunteer Fire Company
Newtown Square Fire Company
Tredyffrin Township Police Department
