When you dial 9-1-1 they answer the phone. When we call on the radio, they answer the radio. When we need help, they send it. We have always called them "dispatchers", but they are so much more, they are Telecommunicatiors. While you don't see them, they are a very important part of the team, and this week we celebrate them and say thank you!

To those that celebrate, Happy Easter from the men and women of the La Mott Fire Company.

At 03:32 this morning the Fire Company was dispatched to Lynnwood Gardens for a smell of smoke and gas in the area. Our Chief Odoriferous Officer, Kevin Lynch quickly responded to the scene and determined that the smell was that of a skunk. Chief Odoriferous who has been known to emit skunk like smells then recalled all units. They say most fire calls are just "smells and bells".............this morning was just smells!

As we continue to update, we have new gear racks at the Fire House. After investigating commercial gear racks, one of our oldest members Joe Reaney was able to find parts and the fire company members built these beautiful racks. This in-house project saved the fire company thousands of dollars. Even our Chief's mascot duck likes the new racks.

Last year, we sold our Special Service to Lake Harmony Volunteer Fire Company of Lake Harmony, PA. We recently received the new pictures of the updated truck and we think that it looks great!

The Fire Company is proud to announce the arrival of the new Engine 2. On February 9th we proudly took delivery of this 2018 KME rescue pumper. This truck had been a demonstration vehicle for Matheny Fire and Emergency in Maryland. The Fire company made modifications that were done by Matheny to meet our specifications. This is the second demonstration vehicle we have purchased, proving our fiscal responsibility by saving several hundred thousand dollars, while significantly upgrading our fleet. Thank you to Tim Allaband and all the folks at Matheny for a job well done. We hope to place the truck in service in the next 3-4 weeks, after which we will be selling "old" engine 2
