Some photos of our apparatus of the past from our photographic archives.
Last night 23 Company 36 members traveled to Hershey Fire Company. To review search and rescue procedures, an overall review of the use and care of air packs lead by Lieutenant Garland and Past Chief Shatto. Crews had the opportunity to use Hershey's maze to simulate search and rescue conditions. Crews also practiced hose line advancement and tactics to help with rescue of a downed fire fighter. Thank you to the members of the Hershey Fire Company and Chief Pat Leonard for the use of your beautiful facility.West Hanover Fire Company has just made a significant investment with the purchase of brand new air packs. We are most thankful to our township board of supervisors and the members of our community for your support.
Company 48 has a tremendous training opportunity in their Station. I commend Chief Pat Leonard and his staff for what they built. I was honored to work with them in FAST Rescue Solutions training and would love to come back and do some advanced training.
