It is with heartfelt sadness and deepest regret that the Adelphia Fire Company announces the passing of Ex-Chief, Life Member, and Chaplain – Harry R. Carter, Ph.D. 

Chief Carter graced Adelphia with leadership in many ways – operational, educational, and spiritual. Beyond Adelphia, he was considered a fire service icon for his writings and lectures. Wherever he was though he gave a nod to his fire company – Adelphia. Many considered Chief Carter a mentor, to many more he was a friend, and to Adelphia he was family. 

Chief Carter, we thank you for your service, leadership, and passion. Until we met again – we’ll take it from here. 

Arrangements to be announced.
