NBC 10 Eliminates Town’s Fire Co.
Way back in 2004, NBC 10 (”The Investigators!”) broadcast a report alleging that firefighters in Colwyn, Delaware County, were operating an illegal bar, and the mayor and others were going there. Colwyn is a dry town, and Lu Ann Cahn actually said this, “Are you all above the law?” OMG IRL drama. Then for some reason earlier this month all of Colwyn’s firefighers resigned at once. Cops also raided the “speakeasy” and killed seven members of the Hogan gang, as well as confiscating illegal video poker machines and alcohol. Then last night the town council ended its relationship with the fire company. The head of the Colwyn Fire Co. was dramatic: “God, heaven forbid, someone gets hurt or really killed. Then it’s really going to hit the fan.” And this is also pretty much the best government plan ever:
So thanks to your local media, residents of Colwyn, Pa., you no longer have a fire company. Be sure to thank NBC 10 for the service. |

I really love the one comment on that last NBC 10 story: “Not only do they drink at every firehouse, they also all wash their cars all year long around here, then have the nerve to call and ask for donations. here is my donation, its in the form of advice, stop wasting water on washing your cars. Someone has to pay for it unless they are getting the water for free too…” There are people who really hate firefighters, apparently.
Colwyn is in Delaware County, PA…not NJ.
Fixed.
It’s taken Colwyn this long to figure out that prohibition doesn’t work?
I thought the rest of the country figured it out in 1933.
Colwyn & Mischief night will be ugly this year
they need to start washing those cars with piss instead of water to save money.
Publicly hating on people who save you from being burned alive is not, from an evolutionary biology standpoint, a desirable trait.
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down
Everybody’s talking ’bout a new way of walking
Do you want to lose you mind
Walk right in, sit right down, baby let your hair hang down
Well I am a career firefighter that administrates volunteer fire departments and this is sad.
I would like to see if the department came back, I would bet it is still suffering.
Also as for washing thier cars, for the volunteer service they provided, that is only a small benefit. As for all those condeming it why don’t you volunteer for your local fire department, get up at all hours of the night and then go to your regular job all day and do it again, oh and did I mention that you may die doing your volunteer work. Get off your high horses and get real.
As for the speakeasy, well that county has morons for commissioners, and prohibition ended and does not work.
I can tell you that you cannot imagine the stress it is to be a firefighter, EMT or Cop and to have a little speakeasy that was probably self sufficient (and it being private does not break gambling laws) and proceeds probably going to the fire department equipment, you all morons to condem this activity the way you have.
Do some research, Ben Franklin started the US volunteer Fire Service and a bar and donations helped fund it, and your in PA and don’t know this.
My rants can go on but those that ctitize, well volunteer and walk in thier shoes that is all I have to say
