Tonight the new Aerial Tower 516 arrived to its new home at
the Main Station. 516 was ordered over a year ago and is expected to go into
service in the near future once driver training and various equipment is
mounted. The new 516 is a Sutphen model
SPH100 with a 100 foot boom, a six man cab, all LED lighting, over 280’ of
ground ladders, dual remote control master stream turrets on the bucket, slide out compartment trays, interior
compartment LED lighting, and many more features.
At this time the Alphas will retain the old 516 for refurbishment
to be determined at a later date.

| Late tonight Assistant Chief DeArmitt came across a vehicle accident with a passenger car into a support pillar of Arby's restaurant at the intersection of College Ave. and Atherton St. in the Borough of State College. Rescue 518 responded almost immediately after dispatch. The rescue crew assisted with patient care, hazard control, and checked the building for any structural damage. The vehicle's driver fled on foot away from the scene. The other occupants had only minor injuries. |

VFW officers from the state, district and post level were on hand at the August monthly meeting to name Assistant Chief Benny DeArmitt VFW Firefighter of the Year. We are grateful to have one of our own selected for this top honor. Attending the presentation ceremony from the VFW: State Jr. Vice Commander Mills, District 22 Commander Hainley, District 22 Sr. Vice commander Mick, District 22 Jr. Vice commander Myers, Pine Grove Mills Post Commander Billett, Post Sr. Vice Commander Fleeger, Quartermaster Solocumb, and Post Service Officer Thompson.
Not only did the meeting start late due to a call for smoke in a structure, but Chief DeArmitt had little time to savor the moment with the dispatch of a possible hazmat with unconscious patients ending the meeting early. We congratulate Chief DeArmitt on receiving this honor.

Rick collects historic fire apparatus and in his collection are Former Alpha Tower 517, Engine 511 (Telesquirt), and Engine 512, which he brought in for the occasion. In all, there were 17 pieces of fire apparatus arranged for the photos.
