The 10th and Final 5K Hero Run took place this past Sunday at the Harrisburg Mall.  Over 500 people registered to participate in this final race!  We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the Hero Run over the last 10 years.  It is because of our community support that we were able to raise the money necessary to not only start up our Department's K-9 Unit in 2017, but gradually add several dogs to the unit over the last few years.  We were proud to introduce our newest member of the Department on Sunday, K-9 Soul.  Our goal was to get four dogs, one for each of our platoons, and we were able to do just that; absolutely amazing!  The Hero Run has been a lot fun for us to host as a Department and we look forward to future events that are yet to come.

We would like to thank the Swatara Fire Department and all of the Fire Police personnel who assisted with traffic control as well as Life Team EMS and all of our volunteers.  A big THANK YOU goes out to our sponsors which includes ABC27, The Harrisburg Mall, CAT Cleveland Brothers, the Lawnton American Legion Post 998, Belco Community Credit Union, Blue Chip Federal Credit Union, Bressler Ladies Auxiliary of the Friendship Fire Company, Classic Dry Cleaners and Laundromats, Neill Funeral Home, the Paxtang Grill, Red Door Consignment Gallery, Service 1^st Restoration and Remodeling, Skelly and Loy, Inc., South Philly Hoagies, Stephenson Equipment, Inc., the 40 & 8 Club.
