Samantha Pancoast celebrates her graduation from Unionville High School and Fire School recently. She is shown with Andrew Yacka, her brother in law, a fellow firefighter for Longwood Fire Company, who sparked her interest in joining the volunteer company.<\/p><\/div>\n

EAST MARLBOROUGH \u2014 Samantha Pancoast of Pocopson Township has celebrated graduating from both Unionville High School and fire school.<\/p>\n

Pancoast is a member of Longwood Fire Company.<\/p>\n

She became involved with the fire company last year through her brother-in-law Andrew Yacka. Yacka was awarded the prestigious Jim McGovern Service Award this year for service to Longwood Fire Company.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast summer Andrew mentioned how much of a workout training is and since I play three sports I wanted to see if I could live up to the challenge,\u201d Pancoast said. \u201cThe following Tuesday he brought me to one of Longwood’s training nights and they ended up using me as a victim in their vehicle rescue. That’s when I fell in love and joined immediately! Now as a volunteer I absolutely love it! I try making it to as many calls as my schedule allows. It’s volunteer work that even when you think you know everything, you really don’t. That’s what I love about it, there is always something new to learn!\u201d<\/p>\n

Pancoast finds helping the community is a wonderful way to get to know the area and the residents. \u201cI don’t expect any rewards for what I do and I certainly don’t expect any recognition: she said. \u201cI just love helping others with my friends and learning all that the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Longwood Fire Company has served the communities of Kennett, East Marlborough, Pennsbury and Pocopson townships since 1921.
