Today, we honor Charles H. Martin, Jr. with the Lionville Fire Company whose LODD was 9/2/1965. Firefighter Martin, a local farmer and dedicated member of the Lionville Fire Company, lost his life while operating at a brush fire at Whispering Pines Farm on North Whitford Road. While attempting to access the fire, Firefighter Martin tragically came into contact with a fence which had become electrified by a fallen power line. More than six decades later, Firefighter Martin has not been forgotten. Known as a civic leader within the community, his legacy is also memorialized through the dedication of Charles H. Martin Memorial Park in Uwchlan Township. Today, we remember Firefighter Charles H. Martin, Jr. and will continue to honor all those who have given their lives in service to the residents of Chester County. We do not have a picture of this firefighter.
