In a heartwarming event on Friday evening, June 2nd, Firefighter Brandon Shilling temporarily set aside his fire gear to attend his prom at Coatesville Area Senior High School.

Brandon, accompanied by his charming girlfriend Niema, made a grand entrance in Engine 37-2. The fire engine was driven by the Chief, accompanied by Deputy 37a, also known as the Chief's grandson. Scott, Brandon's father, donned his class A uniform to assist the couple with their unique ride.

Indeed, arriving at the prom in a fire engine has its privileges; the couple led the parade and were the first to enter the prom venue. This remarkable tradition sees students making their grand entrance on fire trucks, floats, limousines, tow trucks, boats, and anything else imaginable. This annual event draws spectators from near and far.

The Modena Fire Company's officers and members would like to extend their hearty congratulations to Brandon and the entire Class of 2023. They wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
