In the evening hours
on September 9 as crews were doing house work, a group of Mount Vernon Fire
Department, New York firefighters arrived for the PennState vs Alabama game.
The guys that arrived didn’t take long to get acquainted as they began to cook
a delicious meal to serve about 25 that were in station that night. The
firefighters stayed at the Alpha Fire Stations over the course of weekend. On
Saturday the Alpha’s were greeted by members of Squad 252 and Rescue 4, FDNY,
who were on the front lines on September 11, 2001. The FDNY members were the
Honor Guard at the game. The firefighters of FDNY stayed until the early
morning hours of Sunday. On behalf of the Alpha’s we hope you all enjoyed your
time and appreciate the visit. Please see the link below that features FDNY at
PennState.

| During the week of August 15, the Alphas contacted and met with representatives from Hurst, Holmatro and Amkus. The Alphas looked over the various updates and innovations in high-pressure extrication tools. Updates in vehicle construction along with advances in new metals have made it very difficult to dismantle vehicles during extrication incidents. The high-pressure tools along with advances in technology will make it easier for fire departments to work with these metals. A very special thank-you to John Tennis Towing for providing the vehicles to "demo" during the week! |
