Raymond Achey receives recognition

Chestnuthill Township Supervisors Chris Eckert, left; Chuck Gould, chairman, second from right; and Dave Fleetwood, vice chairman, right; present a resolution to West End Volunteer Fire Police Chief Raymond Achey "in recognition and commendation from the supervisors for his meritorious actions." On May 16, Achey was traveling on Route 715 and observed a light in the woods. He stopped to investigate and found a riderless motorcycle. He notified 911. Despite his own medical challenges, Achey located the rider, who had been injured, and was responsible for his rescue. "Without Fire Police Chief Achey's aid, the rider's injuries may have resulted in death," said Eckhart.
