On Christmas morning, 2003, a tragic fire took the lives of Rebecca, Scott, and 7-year-old Amanda Schoenberger in their Warwick Township home. Officials feel that the lack of a working smoke detector directly contributed to the tragic loss of life.

Shortly after the fire, Shannon Grodzicki, a classmate and friend of Amanda, told her father that she wanted to do something "so that nobody ever dies in a fire again."

The Lititz Fire Company #1 and its fellow Warwick Emergency Services Commission (WESC) members have maintained the Amanda Schoenberger Memorial Smoke Detector Program. This program provides the distribution of smoke detectors at no cost to any residents within the Warwick School District. We want to assure that every household in the Warwick School District is equipped with at least one properly installed working smoke detector on each floor of the home. We also want to increase awareness of the dangers of fire.

Smoke Detectors are available at the Warwick Township Municipal Building 315, Clay Road, Lititz.   For your free smoke detector, for more information, or to make a contribution, please contact Duane Ober, WESC Fire Commissioner, at 717-626-8900, ext. 144 or e-mail: dober@warwicktownship.org

Please make sure you have a working smoke detector on every floor of your residence and if you do not, please contact WESC today.
