7/12 Rescue 2-6 was dispatched in the morning of July 12 for a reported accident on Mount Joy Road in Rapho Township. Crews found a car sideways against a tree, with 1 patient needing medical care. The patient was removed from the vehicle and turned over to EMS, with the rescue and squad spending 1 hour on the scene. |
7/19 Several members spent this morning at the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center practicing their skills on the car fire simulator. Firefighters received good training on fire attack, and one driver trainee had plenty of pump time to put toward his engine driver qualification. Thanks to everyone that attended and to the staff of LCPSTC for running the simulator for us. |
Congratulations to firefighter Jesse Schlotzhauer for competing his Pennsylvania Department of Health certification as an Emergency Medical Technician. |
7/14 As part of our normal Monday night training program, on July 14th we hosted a water rescue awareness class at our station. A total of 29 personnel from Manheim, Lititz, Cornwall, and Mount Joy attended. About halfway through the class, crews were dispatched to Lititz Springs Park for a reported building fire that turned out to be very minor and the class was able to resume quickly. This class was a precursor to a water rescue operations class coming in September. Thanks to instructor Todd Stahl from Whitecap Rescue for a very informative class. We're looking forward to seeing you again in a couple of months. |
7/15 Just another false fire alarm? Crews were dispatched to South Cope Hill Drive for a residential fire alarm and just after dispatch Deputy 2-6 (Rhodes) was advised that calls were coming in from the neighbors that there was smoke coming from the house. Crews quickly arrived and extinguished a working garage fire. This time the system worked as designed and alerted the fire department several minutes before any fire could be seen from outside the house. This is a good example that fire alarms and sprinklers save lives. Also a reminder to our staff that even run of the mill every day calls can turn out to be more than expected. |
7/17 July 17th had crews responding to 2 separate accidents on Auction Road in Penn Township. The first involved a motorcycle that hit a pickup head on. The rider was up and walking around upon arrival. Later in the day, a 2 vehicle accident occured further down the road. Chief 2-6-3 (Ober) arrived to find 1 vehicle overturned and a patient laying in the roadway. Crews spent a total of 2 hours in service. |
Duty shirts are in, see captain Stokes. Every member receives 1 blue and 1 grey t-shirt. More are available for purchase. |
