Joe Bishop was nothing short of a firefighting legend to every station located in the Borough. Joe served many years as a firefighter and chauffeur in the Borough. He spent the last few years serving with the Carlisle Fire Police. Joe was always involved and always showing up to calls until his health started to decline. Even then Joe was still coming to Coffee Club at the Union to share his stories and knowledge with the men. Joe is an irreplaceable person as he was most definitely one of a kind. Anyone who knew Joe knows exactly what we are talking about. He will always be remembered and talked about around the firehouse table, people like Joe live on forever in the Department. Union members are thinking about Joes family during this difficult time. God Speed Brother.
