West Lebanon Township has suspended and decertified Speedwell Fire Company as a first responder because company members allegedly responded to a call after drinking alcohol. Seven out of nine fire company members who responded to a call at 10:10 p.m. Dec. 14 were under the influence of alcohol, township commissioner John Brenner said in a letter to Lebanon County EMA Director Robert Dowd. In the Dec. 21 letter - provided to the Lebanon Daily News by the county in response to a right-to-know request - the township instructed EMA to direct all calls within the township to Ebenezer Fire Company in North Lebanon Township at the beginning of the day on Dec. 22.
