DeWalt will donate a power saw to both Springettsbury and Spring Garden Township Firefighters for use during the competition, and it will remain theirs to keep after the competition. </p><p>Each fire department will attempt to be the first to remove the roof from a vehicle using the saw. The vehicles used by the fire departments are being donated by Louie’s Auto Repair and the York County Fire School. The first department to fully remove their vehicle’s roof receives bragging rights only, since both departments will keep their saws. </p><p>Matt Connor, Administrative Manager at Lowe’s, said “This is an event for everyone.
