It will carry 300' of 3"hose, 300' of 5" hose, and (2) 200' 1-3/4 attack lines. It is designed to support the needs of our growing rural 1st due area in both structural and brush/vegetation fire attack.

The second piece is an E-One tanker and will complement our current 2004 Pierce tanker. The E-One tanker will sit atop an International HV-607chassie with a water capacity of 2,030 Gallons. It will have dual operational controls of both side and rear tank dump valves.

We enjoyed the opportunity to be part of an emergency services program by presenting fire safety to McVeytown United Methodist Church pre-school. A great group of attentive kids with lots of questions. Police, Fire and EMS shared how they helped their community.

A really busy Fire Prevention week for the WGTFC volunteers as 3 presentations were made. On Thursday we spent the afternoon with the Strodes Mills Elementary school grades K- 3. Well over 250 students and teachers participated in a Fire Prevention program and then got a hands on look at their 1st due apparatus.
On Friday, we hosted a local Home School association at our station. There, a 2 1/2 hour program was presented to both students and their parents. What a delightful morning with awesome group of attentive and enthusiastic students and parents. Then on Saturday morning/ afternoon, we participated in a Fire prevention program hosted by Lowe’s Home Improvements Store in Lewistown. There, we joined a number of additional Mifflin County fire stations for the program. We had a great time distributing fire safety information and even managed get in a little recruiting with a couple of our neighbors taking membership applications. What a great opportunity to serve our community.
