A pretty busy week started off with a community service detail for a local church. On Sunday Company 34 attended a community event held at George Park. While there we offered tours of our new fire engine and information to the community about fire prevention and safety. Also company 34 members provided a landing zone for STAT MEDEVAC 13. Wednesday started off early with a AFA ( Automatic Fire Alarm) at 07:30 which was false, followed by an accident with entrapment in our mutual aid company (Linglestown Company 35) first due at 08:35. While enroute to the call Command 35 cancelled us due to having no entrapment. ( Our rescue engine is due on all entrapment/confinment calls in Linglestown). After getting back to the station and having a little time to relax we were again out on the street for an accident in our own first due. At 11: 15 am Dauphin County Communications dispatched an accident with injuries less than a mile from the station at the Post Office. Upon arrival we had one vehicle into the structure with no injuries, and no damage to the structure. As soon as Lower Paxton Township Police arrived we cleared the scene. At 12:03 am thursday morning we were dispatched for a Commercial AFA but it proved to be false. At 12:55 p.m. Box 33-4 ( Colonial Park Fire Dept) was dispatched for a possible bathroom fire. Chief 32-2 ( Progress Fire) arrived on scene an advised that there was indeed a working fire. Engine 34 w/4 went enroute and we took in the second due engine assignment, as well as the truck assignment until the arrival of truck 32 ( Progress Fire). Engine 33 ( Colonial Park) stretched one attack line and put a good knock on the fire upon our arrival. Engine 34 assisted in pulling ceilings, overhaul, and mopped up some of the hot spots, and the fire was held to the room of origin. Later in the day we ran two more AFA's in our first due, and a fire reported out call in Linglestown which we were cancelled on. All in all in was a pretty busy week with school starting this week as well.
