Today we were dispatched to an accident with injuries, a vehicle leaking fuel and to assist PD.  Upon our arrival, we arrived to find a Ford F-350 on its side leaking a large amount of fuel.  We assisted Squad 45 with dyking, damming and diverting the diesel fuel from going into the storm drain.  Patient was not transported and we remained on the scene over 1 hour. 

Today FF Andria (White) Jacobs and Lt. R. Alan Jacobs tied the knot at The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd.  Chief 49 Chuck Berry was the Best Man and the Groomsmen were LT Terry Rodenhaber (HBG Bureau of Fire), Asst Chief Mark Bradnick, Asst Chief Terry Clark and FF Michael Schroth.  All the men were dressed in their Class A Uniforms for the big day. 

Engine 49 was the Wedding Vehicle and escorted the new Bride and Groom to Paxtonia Fire Company where the reception took place. 

Congratulations again, and we look forward to seeing the NEW BRIDE AND GROOM!

This evening we had our 5th accident on the same stretch of Derry Street in last 4 days.  The Rescue and the Squad handled this one by assisting EMS with patient care and with clean up.  One patient was transported to a local hospital.  Units were on the scene for about 45 minutes. 

This evening, training was held with Engine 91 to go over pumping and using the deck gun to make sure the motor pump operators were familiar with the pumps.  The rope washer was brought out and demos were shown on how to use it as a hose washer also. 

A lot of fun was had this evening

Hummelstown Truck 46 along with our Engine, formed an arch and hung OLD GLORY for the motorcyclist to ride under for the start of their MDA Ride for Life.  The ride left the parking lot of Hersheypark and ended at the Hollywood Casino in East Hanover Township.  Approximately 200+ motorcycles particiapated in the ride along with many of the local bike chapters.
