We at Manchester Township School District were deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company Chief Brian Flanagan.

We remain forever grateful for his courage, selflessness, and unwavering dedication to protecting our community. His service and impact will never be forgotten.

Our heartfelt thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family, loved ones, and the entire Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company during this heartbreaking time. May he rest in peace.
