The airport actually lies in Benner Township and is Bellefonte Fire Department's first due territory.  In this scenario the Alpha's were supposed to be assisting Bellefonte, however, due to a large brush fire that was taking place in Milesburg, Bellefonte was unable to attend the drill.  The drill was conducted the the Alpha's and Pleasant Gap fire companies.  The drill started at 18:30 hrs. and concluded approximately 2 hours later.  This was definately a learning experience and all had fun while doing it.  Great job to all who particpated!!
