Welcome to the Keystone Hook and Ladder Company No. 1
We still make“HOUSE CALLS”!
100% VOLUNTEER – ALL THE TIME and PROUDLY SERVING AND PROTECTING MYERSTOWN & JACKSON TOWNSHIP SINCE 1875
Gun Raffle - Due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, the members of the Raffle Committee, the Keystone Hook & Ladder No. 1, the Neptune Fire Company, and the Schaefferstown Volunteer Fire Company POSTPONED the drawing scheduled for May 30, 2020.
Unfortunately due to the current regulations that have been put in place by the Governor of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Department of Health we will be unable to hold a public drawing this year. This years drawing will still be held on the postponed date of August 29th @ 12PM, BUT it will only be held virtually, right here via Facebook Live!
The regulations that are in place are for EVERYONES SAFETY! We realize many of you are going to be very disappointed, just as we all are, but please keep in mind the Gun/Cash Raffle is designed to be a fun way to bring the community together and raise funds for three of the Eastern Lebanon County Fire Departments. The funds raised are used year round to provide public safety and services both in emergency and non emergency situations. The health and safety of the public and our communities is as always our #1 priority! We would like to thank everyone for their understanding and continued support during this unprecedented and unpredictable situation.
So here's how it's going to go... on August 29th at 12 PM we will go live. We will have a very limited number of members on site to preform the drawing. The Schaefferstown Volunteer Fire Company Carnival grounds will be off limits to the public! The winners will be notified by mail and will be required to respond following the directions they receive so they can claim their prize. We also added a few extra prizes that were not listed on the raffle ticket. These prizes will remain a "mystery" and will be drawn after the original ticket prizes. Everyone who purchased a ticket will be eligible for those prizes automatically.
We will see you all on August 29, 2020 at 12 PM via Facebook LIVE!
