As a parent of a young child I feel as though the fire siren shouldn’t sound unless there is a need for an evacuation. In this day and age the technology is so great there is no need for it to go off anymore. Most fire fighters have pagers, scanners and even apps for their phones to alert them of a fire or ambulance call. Many other fire departments around the area including New Holland fire department no longer sound the siren. My child is awoken by the siren on a weekly basis. It frightens him so much it’s very hard to get him to go back to sleep. I’m sure other parents along with third shift workers would agree with me that the fire siren is no longer needed and that it is a nusience.

I moved into Denver Borough about a year ago. I was recently jogging from my house on Beech St. through downtown Denver. I was so disgusted by the amount of dog poop on the sidewalks. I actually counted about 10-15 different times I came across it on this quick little jog. It was also disturbing how many cigarettes butts were littered throughout the sidewalk as well. It seems to me, many people are walking their dogs around town and it might help clean up the place if there were bags available at various locations. I am not sure what to do about the rest of the litter. Downtown is a bit disappointing in general.
