| This evening Firefighter For A Day kicked off with the 8 participants being issued their fire gear and pagers. Tonight through Saturday these individuals will paricipate in events such as a smoke maze, simulated car fires, and the use of the jaws of life. In addition to these training exercises they will respond to any alarms that Company 5 gets in the centre region. The event is a recruitment tool and intended to show those who are either interested in joining or who are just curious as to what it is like to be a member of the Alpha Fire Co. Good luck to the participants! The crews have already taken in 1 response for an auto alarm at the Olive Garden (as of 11:12 PM, June 29). |

On Sunday June 10, 2007, the Alpha Fire Company held its annual live burn class at the Pa. State Fire Academy in Lewistown. Chief S. Clouser (500) used this opportunity to test the department’s new electronic accountability system from fireTRAX.
Crews left the main station at 6:20 AM with Engines 510, 511; Tower 517; Rescue 518 Utility 522 and Command 534.
When the crews returned to station they were treated to dinner prepared by Mrs. Prestia, wife of Carmine and mother of Chris and Andrew.
Thanks to our stand-by crews for covering the Centre Region while we participated in this training opportunity.
