The eligibility age for members of the Eagleswood Volunteer Fire Co. has been lowered from 18 to 16, thanks to an ordinance adopted during the rescheduled township meeting of Monday, Aug. 17.

Junior members of the volunteer-run fire company were praised for their dedication to the community.

Logan Dyroff said he was “looking forward to helping others and spending time with people I like hanging out with.”

For Andrew Halford, it was about “giving to a community that needs help.”

Existing fire company members thanked the committee for the changes, which were introduced at last month’s meeting.
