First Due Silo Fire

At about 1030hrs, firefighters at Station 27 received a phone call from a local farmer advising fire in a silo chute.  After advising FRC, Truck 27 and Engine 27-1 responded with 6 firefighters along with units from Maugansville (Co. 13), Leitersburg (Co. 9), Community Rescue (Co. 75) and Washington County Special Ops (Co. 20).  The fire was contained  in the chute and command held units for only a short time.

 

Truck Transfer To Franklin Station 4

At about 1900hrs, Truck 27 was alerted to transfer to Franklin County Station 4 in Chambersburg, PA.  Truck 27 responded with 4 firefighters and spent the evening with members of the New Franklin Fire Company who were the engine transfer.  Crews ran no calls, but enjoyed the old timers (FF Adams) reveling in past fires, namely Wolf Avenue.

On Saturday the 9th, years of physical fitness, months of practice and weeks of strategizing came to fruition as the Longmeadow Softball team took the field in the Inaugural Engine 1 Softball Tournament.  The Boys swept through the competition, beating each and every team at least three times.  Although several players made important contributions to the effort, the Shortstop was voted MVP.
