2024 Training

August 21 Training: Water Drafting

For training tonight, UAFD went to Messiah University to practice drafting from the creek. Sometimes, there are no hydrants in rural areas, in which case this would be necessary to provide water.
Thanks to Joanne, one of our support force members, for the great photos!
     

June 25 Training: Tanker Operations

Upper Allen Fire Department members trained on tanker operations. This training is a great refresher for the older members and a new operation for the newer members. This operation also gave student drivers the ability to drive and operate Tanker 23 as if they were on an emergency scene in a rural area.
 

Jubilee Day Training

Last evening, Squad 23, Truck 23, and Traffic 23 joined Company 29 (Mechanicsburg Fire Department) for a combined department training session. With Jubilee Day coming up on June 20th, it is imperative to prepare for possible emergencies. Crews stretched long-distance hose lines and completed run-ins that simulated what could be needed in the event of a structure fire on Jubilee Day.

May Duty Night

Last evening, we held our May duty night. We had some helpful guests from the Keystone FC Elite boys Soccer team! They stopped in to help us wash the apparatus, and we gave them a tour of the station. We showed them the equipment on the rigs, and they stayed to watch us play, stack the cups, move an egg, and cribbing Jenga with the rescue tools. Thank you, Keystone FC Elite, for coming out and lending a hand!
