This evening the West Hanover Township Fire Company crew was familiarizing themselves with the pump operation of the New Engine 36-3. Crews practiced drafting, utilizing the deck gun, pulling cross lays and the booster line. As we move closer to placing The New Engine 36-3 into service.
Our Thanks to local apparatus photographer Dale Feeherer for his photos of the new Engine 36-3. They turned out very well.
While we spring our clocks ahead tomorrow make sure you change your smoke detector batteries too.
Check your dates, If your smoke detectors are over 10 years old they should be replaced.
Working smoke alarms save lives!

This morning West Hanover Fire Company Volunteers headed to HACC Shumaker Public Safety Center where we trained with Paxtonia 34 Fire Company and Colonial Park Fire Co. #1 we worked on live fire scenarios with our neighboring companies.
This joint training was paid for by a donation for all Lower Paxton Township and West Hanover Township Fire Companies by the Rotary Club of Colonial Park
Thank you very kindly to HACC and the Rotary Club for this most generous gesture. It was a very successful training for all of the companies today. It was a pleasure to work with our neighboring fire companies. Our Thanks to the Fire Line Officers from each company and the burn technicians who facilitated todays burns.
