Good Luck, Lieutenant Hendershot

Rosedale Lieutenant Greg Hendershot left this month to start his career with the Arlington County, VA Fire-Rescue Department. Greg set foot in the fire department before he could walk, following the footsteps of his father Lee (Past Fire Chief) and brother Chris (Captain/Paramedic).

Although he was perhaps best known for his sense of humor, Greg knew how to get the job done when the fire siren went off. Greg became an excellent leader within the department and was truly an assett to the Penn Hills community. We'll miss ya, bud - GOOD LUCK!
