In August/September of 2007 the Alpha Fire Company will be close to replacing the current Truck 516 with its successor. As a send off for the truck that served as our flagship piece, we are tentatively arranging a "Last Cruise" event for all Active, Alumni, and Life members. It will include trips around the town in 516, and possiblly a BBQ and a Spikes game.

This morning the Alpha's were dispatched to the intersection of Meeks Ln. and Skytop Ln. for an accident with rollover. As units went responding they were advised that there was one patient with no entrapment.
Today the Firefighter for a Day event concluded with a dinner held at the station. Participants for this event arrived on Friday night and were issued a set of full turnout gear.
For the second day in a row the Alpha's were alerted to a hazardous materials incident. Today it occurred at 17:57 hrs. at 730 W. Beaver Ave. where there was a mercury spill. The call started out as a chief's call only, upon the arrival of the duty chief, Captain A. Prestia, he confirmed that the substance was mercury and requested that the company and Penn State Haz-Mat be dispatched.
