Line Officers attend Positive Pressure Attack Class

November 7th 2009 -  The line officers from the 22 Engine house attended an 8 hour Positive Pressure Attack seminar hosted by Westmoreland City VFD.  The event took place at Pluma's Banquet Facility in Irwin on Saturday November 7th from 8am-4pm.  The class was instructed by retired Salt Lake City Fire Chiefs Kriss Garcia and Reinhard Kauffman.  The class was very informative and we certainly learned a lot about using positive pressure in conjunction with fire attack to ensure a safer, faster, and more effective fire attack.  Thanks to Westmoreland City VFD for the invite and for the great class.  

 

Former Engine 22-2 In service in Dunlap Kansas

As reported in the early summer, Engine 22-2 was placed out of service and sold to a volunteer fire department in Dunlap, Kansas.   It has since then been placed in service there replacing a 1963 Fire Engine.  The Dunlap Fire Department is very happy with their "new truck" and have reported it has been serving them well so far.  The Export VFD is glad to see this apparatus to continue to be in service helping out another fire department.  

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK - OCT 4TH - 10TH

"Stay Fire Smart - Don't Get Burned!"

Testing the water before putting a child in the bath may sound like common sense. Wearing short or close-fitting sleeves when cooking on the stovetop may show foresight. This and other simple actions may be all it takes to prevent devastating burns. - Source: http://www.nfpa.org

Remember to regularly check your smoke detectors and batteries each quarter year, and have an escape plan for exiting your home in case of an emergency.  

The Export VFD offers Fire Prevention and Fire Station Tours to residents and groups.  Call or e-mail us to setup your tour today!  

The Officers and Members of the Export VFD would like to offer our sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Officers and Members of Westmoreland County Fire Station 111 (Fairfield Twp.)  The Fairfield Twp fire department suffered the loss of their fire station and equipment on Saturday October 3rd, 2009.  They were able to save their apparatus and some of their gear.  The fire service consists of a band of brothers who come together to help out others and one another in the time of need.  We wish for a full rebuild and recovery of the Fairfield Twp Fire Department.

Penn Township House Fire

September 29th 2009 - Just a few minutes after midnight, the 22 boys were dispatched along with the rest of the Station 63 (Claridge) structure alarm for a working house fire on Duncan Street in Penn Township.  First arriving units made a quick knockdown of the fire on the 2 story, single family dwelling and crews from Engine 22 and Salvage 22 assisted other crews with checking for extension and overhaul in various areas of the structure.  Ventilation was performed, and the Fire Marshall was requested to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire.  Great job to all units on scene that demonstrated great teamwork during the fire.   Thanks to station 102 (Washington Twp) for providing an Engine for standby in the 22 house during the fire.  

Export VFD Comedy Night

September 19th 2009 - The Export VFD hosted the first annual Comedy Night at the Social Hall this evening.  Along with Comedians Chuck Kreiger, Bill Scott, and Justin Marcus,  DJ Joe kept the fun going on before and after the comedy show with lots of good music. Export's very own Tony Hohn performed the events introduction and showed his own comedy side as usual.   We'd like to thank everyone who attended this event for supporting the Export VFD and we hope to host another comedy night again in the future.
