April 2008: Apparatus Notes
The new 255 Engine 3 is complete, and is out for installation of small equipment. It should be delivered around May 7th. The apparatus committee and Line Officers have authorized Sutphen to display the vehicle at the Lancaster County Fire Expo in Harrisburg from May 16th through May 18th. Sutphen will be covering the costs, including fuel, for the event. Any member who is available to do so is welcome to go to the Expo to support the display. The process of mounting the body on the chassis will be featured in an upcoming television program (probably, "How It's Made") on the Discovery Networks. They filmed the installation of the pump module and body on the chassis at the Sutphen plant on March 10th. Check back for the air date of the episode. It will probably be in the fall of 2008. 

April 2008: Equipment Notes
Equipment for the new engine is arriving daily. Keep this eqipment in the back of bay 2, in front of the lounge. All equipment must be inventoried. It will be taken to Sutphen for delivery to Summers Brothers at the time of the final insection tour.

March 2008: Operational Issues
Use respiratory and barrier protection for all responses to Kane during influenza season. Patients are particularly at risk for flu, since the vaccine distributed nationwide does not cover two of the most currently widespread strains of flu.

The garage door for Bay 2 will be replaced during the week of March 30th. The bay will be completely out of service that week.

March 2008: Administrative Issues
All members need to help in the setup for the Fish Fry during the week of March 16. We need the most help on Thursday, March 20, for breading the fish and packing the coleslaw.

Scott Township is sponsoring a Blood Drive on April 10th. Sign up sheets are posted on the board in the lounge.

February 2008: Training Opportunities
The annual CPR training update will be rescheduled to accomodate Station 257's joint drill. All firefighters should maintain certification in CPR. If you fail to recertify at the department, you may have to pay to do it elsewhere.

January 2008: Operational Issues
All drivers, remember that the On-Spot tire chains on Engine 1 and Engine 2 cannot be used at speeds in excess of 35MPH, nor applied at speeds in excess of 20MPH. Please be careful.

January 2008: Apparatus Notes
255 Engine 3 has been removed from service and has been sold.

January 2008: Important Notice
All members who have issued department radios are to report to the station on Wednesday, February 6th at 19:00 to have the radios reprogrammed to current county standards. If you cannot be there at that time, you must turn your radio in to the chief prior to that time so it may be properly reprogammed.
