'The fire department says they need it. I disagree. I'm confronting them on the subject,' one man said.
The sound of a fire siren that stands tall above the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company comes up in debate every few years."I circulated the petition between different business owners around here," explained Langhorne Borough Councilman Scott Haldeman. "I'm part of the community, I'm bothered by it, many business owners, employees, and residents are bothered by it."
"The community is protected by a 100% volunteer fire company, so, we're their neighbors. When my fire pager goes off, when the siren blows, we stop our lives and become the professional firefighters of this community," explained Frank Farry, the fire chief of the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company. "There's a luncheonette two blocks away and one of our members was there having breakfast, his pager never activated, but he heard the siren and he was the only driver to show up that day," said Farry."The fire department says they need it. I disagree. I'm confronting them on the subject," he said."'We keep the siren on for tradition,' that's 100% not true and he knows that.
