Last evening, shortly after 7:00 PM, Station 41 and mutual aid departments were dispatched to a local bed and breakfast for a reported building fire.

Units arrived to find a haze throughout the basement area. Engine 41 and Utility 41-1 investigated, quickly located the issue, and mitigated the problem. Engine 41, Utility 41-1, and Tower 40 then ventilated the building before returning to service.

Engine 41, Tanker 41, Utility 41-1, Utility 41-2, and 41 Fire Police responded. Station 41 is fortunate to have a group of responders who care deeply about their community. Station 41 had a staffing of 29 personnel on scene for this incident, a testament to the dedication of our volunteers.

Today, Junior Firefighters Marcus Stoltzfus and Monroe Miller attended a live fire training, marking the final day of the Essentials of Firefighting program.

Over the past four months, they have completed more than 180 hours of basic firefighting training. Today’s live fire evolutions served as a culmination of the skills they’ve developed throughout the course.

A few years ago, state legislation was updated to allow 17-year-old junior firefighters to complete the full basic firefighting program. This allows them to be fully certified upon their 18th birthday—a significant benefit for volunteer fire companies that are always in need of well-trained, qualified firefighters.

Last evening’s training was led by two instructors from Tailboard Training, focusing on firefighter survival and RIT operations.

The evening began with emergency firefighter bailout techniques and progressed into multiple scenarios involving the removal of downed firefighters from a basement environment.

Once again, firefighters from Station 41 were able to utilize this structure to train in realistic, hands-on conditions.

Over the past several weeks, the Hand-In-Hand Fire Company, in conjunction with LCPSTC and Instructors Clark and Gribble, hosted a State Fire Academy Pumps 1 and Pumps 2 class. Around 20 students from area departments successfully completed the program.

Between both courses, students completed 16 hours of classroom instruction followed by 16 hours of hands-on practical training. Pumps 1 introduced the fundamentals of pump operations, including pump construction, basic hydraulics, water supply, and handline operations. Pumps 2 built on these skills with advanced topics such as friction loss, relay pumping, and master stream operations.

These courses help prepare firefighters to safely and effectively operate fire apparatus pumps in both basic and complex fireground situations.

The following departments had students in attendance:
Hand In Hand Fire Company
Pequea Valley Fire Department
Witmer Fire Protective Association
Lafayette Fire Company
In*******se Fire Company
White Horse Fire Company - Station 49
