This afternoon we assisted with 2 incidents.

At 14:25 Squad 48 was dispatched to assist at a barn/chicken house fire in West Lampeter.

While there, at 15:12 Rescue 48 was dispatched to assist Station 63 with a high angle rescue at Dutch Wonderland where multiple guests needed to be assisted off of the Skyview ride as it was unable to operate. The Rescue crew assisted with directing guests to the front of the park, helping Ladder 204 get set up, and then with other small jobs.

At 15:14 Squad 48 and Utility 48-1 responded to a brush fire along Lincoln Highway. Due to the dry conditions and sporadic bursts of wind, an ember from a nearby controlled burn lit the field on fire. Each unit took one side of the field to distinguish the flames and then wet down the burnt area. A few hot spots needed to be raked.

We would like to thank the Conestoga Valley School District for allowing us to borrow a school bus for training last evening. With the influx of accidents involving school busses lately, we wanted our members to gain knowledge of all the emergency exits, and changes that have been through the years for bus safety (since most of us have been out of school for 20+ years.)

Members did walk-throughs and discussed different scenarios. We ask that everyone stay safe and to always obey all bus rules!
