Company of Pennsylvania. FireFighter George Crotts, 70, a 53 year veteran
volunteer of the Willow Grove Volunteer Fire Company, died Saturday September
9, 2007. George was loading a 1923 American LaFrance Pumper on a trailer for
the North Penn Fire Company parade in North Wales when he fell and struck his
