Just in time for one of Beacon Hose’s favorite holidays — St. Patrick’s Day! — we’re rolling out our first-ever St. Patrick’s Day shirt! This Irish green T-shirt comes in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve. We’ve customized our Maltese cross patch to reflect the Irish heritage of many of our current and past members, and the back of the shirt pays homage not only to the Irish but also to our first-due apparatus, Engine 3.
These shirts will be specially ordered with the deadline of Friday, March 10, at noon EST. Long-sleeve shirts and plus-sizes will be subject to extra fees. They will be available for pickup at the firehouse next week. We can ship them or deliver for an added fee, but they may not arrive in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

This could make all the difference in us being able to save life and property in case of a fire in your neighborhood. If you can do that for us, here’s how to enter the contest:
