Former Hartsville Fire Company Chief Mourned

WARMINSTER, PA —The Hartsville Fire Company is mourning the loss of life member and former Fire Chief Homer Hall.

Hall served as fire chief for two years: 1978 and 1979.

"Homer was an integral part of Hartsville Fire Company's history," the fire company said on Facebook. "He will be missed."

Hall served the Hartsville Fire Company for 30 years.

He also served as a fire chief at Merck, Sharp & Dohme Fire Brigade in North Wales for many years.

"Homer loved the fire company. When he was a junior firefighter, he was named chief of all the junior firefighters at the time," the fire company said.

He would drive the tractor with his dad from the fields to answer fire calls back in the early days.

There will be no service as Hall and his wife Donna decided years ago to donate his body to science.

The Hartsville Fire Company was planning to observe a moment of silence to remember Hall at its March business meeting.

"We also offer our condolences to his wife Donna, his sons Steve and Scott as well as his brother Dale," the fire company said.
