Saturday, April 24th, approximately 30 members from Station 23 in York County and Station 39 in Dauphin County participated in a live burn exercise at the York County Fire School. The exercise was lead by Deputy Chief Tim Stevens. The burn techs for the day were Chief's Schmolitz and Stevens, Assistant Chief Shroyer and former York City Chief Chad Deardorff. Members were divided into 4 different groups with members from both companies. They did numerous RIT evolutions along with other fire attack scenarios. Thank you to Station 23 for the invite, it is great to train with other stations, especially stations from another county.

The father of one of our active firefighters is currently in the ICU at Hershey Medical Center after suffering from numerous injuries from a fall off scaffolding at work. There is currently a go fund me page set up for her father. We are asking the community to help if possible. If anyone could please donate and or share the go fund me it would be greatly appreciated. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-wayne-to-a-successful-recov
