n Auburn: Auburn Fire and Ambulance continues to seek funds. In a release, Judy A. Epting, ambulance president and Auburn Fire Company treasurer, said members thank everyone who responded quickly to the fire and ambulance request for funds. However, the response to the annual fund drive has been slow. "These donations are a big part of keeping our fire and ambulance in operation during the year," she said. The coverage area includes Auburn borough and parts of South Manheim and West Brunswick townships. To avoid a second request for donations, she asked residents in the coverage area to send donations before Friday. Anyone who did not receive a packet should call Epting at 570-754-3014. Donations are tax deductible.
