Cancer keeping 18-year-old East Donegal Township man from firefighting, starting career | Local News | lancasteronline.com

Thanks to a Pennsylvania law passed in January 2023 to increase the number of volunteer firefighters, the age requirement for live burn and interior firefighter training dropped from 18 to 17 years old. Myles Hoffman completed the training and joined the Columbia Borough Fire Department last year, when he was 17 and a senior at Donegal High School.

Myles Hoffman has also recently received some encouraging news in that his latest scans show no signs of cancer in his body. In other words, the chemo drugs are doing their job.

He has endured eight of 12 scheduled rounds of chemo to this point, with the finish line for treatment targeted for mid-November.
