| This weekend the Rescue Company participated in some hands on training. The topics covered included RIT Operations and Mayday Procedures. They also practiced their vehicle rescue skills by participating in vehicle rescue evolutions. They were met with various scenarios including: vehicle on all four wheels, a vehicle with high strength boron steel and one vehicle resting on the hood of another vehicle. This was a very successful training weekend for the Rescue Company and a big thanks to Tennis Towing for their help. |

| On 03/05/11 at 1700 hrs, the Alpha Fire Company staffed E510 with six Centre Region Volunteers and took a ride to Alexandria PA (Huntingdon County Station 1). At the request of the Alexandria Volunteers, we covered their immediate response area while they enjoyed their annual banquet. Not only did the Alphas staff E510, we supplied two EMT's to cover QRS emergencies as well. While on the assignment, E510 along with Asst. Chief 1 responded to a public service call for trees and rocks on the roadway. A special thank-you to the Alexandria Fire Company for the great hospitality and an even better meal!!! |

Today from 10 AM until approximately 2 PM the Alpha Fire Company was assigned to a special detail as a result of a visit to the Penn State from President Barrack Obama. During this detail 15 members, staffing Engine 510, Truck 517, and Rescue 518, were relocated to a location on campus in the area of the power plant during the time that the President was in town. Also, during Mr. Obama's visit the Fire Police worked closely with local and state law enforcement, as well as the Secret Service, to provide traffic control on the President's motorcade route.
As a result of the relocation of the units and the importance of the assignment units were dedicated to the detail. We extend a very special thanks to Old Lycoming fire company for bringing their Engine-Rescue to the Centre Region and standing-by in the main station during this event.
