On November 5, 2006 a couple of our life and associate members went to Kiski Township, Spring Church, Pa to bring home former Engine 511, a 1971 Mack Squrt. The group arrived in Lemont, Pa shortly after 1 pm. According to the group that brought the engine back to State College, "she made the 115 mile trip without any hesitation."
Old Engine 511 was originally delivered to State College on October 22, 1971, and was officially dedicated in April of 1972, after the Squrt was installed.
The engine is currently owned by an associate member of the fire company.

Two members of the Alpha Fire Company Special Fire Police recently received certification under a State program. Robert Donald and Ron Witmer attended the program at Lancaster County Fire Academy and after a battery of written and practical tests received the Pennsylvania State Fire Police 1 Certification. As far as Company officials know these are the first officers certified to this level in Centre County.
Congratulations to both on their advancement and a tip of the hat to their hard work!
The Special Fire Police provide traffic control, crowd control, and scene security at incidents. Additionally, they are often called out to supplement the local police departments where police staffing levels are insufficient for the situation at hand. Fire police are often the first to arrive at a scene and the last to leave. Their service is invaluable to the Alpha Fire Company and the citizens of the Centre Region.
