๐ฅ Emergency Response, Training, and Community Outreach ๐ฅ
๐๏ธ The final few days of May were busy for the Delanson Fire Company!
๐ Starting off on Thursday 5/28, members were on hand at the Duanesburg Central School District Jr/Sr High School career day. Our members engaged with students on how Junior Membership or our new Youth Participation Program can lead to a rewarding career in public safety.
๐ฅ While at career day, the DFC was dispatched to the cause of a wide spread power outage. Utility equipment along Alexander Road/Western Turnpike failed, causing the outage. A downed power line started a small ground cover fire that members quickly extinguished.
๐จ Later in the afternoon on Thursday 5/28, the DFC was requested to Bassett Healthcare for a fire alarm activation. Members found low level CO readings in the building due to a faulty outdoor generator. The source was secured and the building ventilated.
๐ชข On Saturday 5/30, 3 members participated in a skills session for the rescue technician basic course. Just after class let out, the DFC was requested mutual aid by Quaker Street Fire to the scene of a motor vehicle accident with hazmat involvement. 8 members responded from Delanson.
๐ Finally, on Saturday evening members responded to an open burn on Cole Road.
๐งโ๐ Does this sound like an exciting week to you? Come visit us this Saturday at our Breakfast Sandwich Sale to learn about membership!
