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!!
