Got Foam??...

Hey everyone,

Well I really did not have anything planned for today. Things have been hectic lately and I have not had a chance to go out and photograph anything. So I decided to post a few more photos from the drill I photographed at the airport.


These are photos of the Lancaster County Foam Task Force, made up of several different departments. The units pictured here in the bottom two photos are Lafayette Fire Company Engine 6-3-3 and 6-3-2. The other engine is Lancaster City Bureau Of Fire Engine 6-4-2.

The foam task force is also made up of the county haz Mat team and also Neffsville Fire Company which responds with their tanker(2-7) each department also has a foam trailer they can bring to the scene for additional foam. The FTF can respond anywhere in Lancaster County and has gone out of County on mutual aide. The most recent out of county response was to the Adhesive Research Fire in Southern York County a few years ago.


That is all for today. Hope your having a great week!

Mothers Day 2007...

Hey All,

Another one from the archives. This photo was taken back on Mothers Day Morning 2007
I was a brand new dad, having just gone back to work after a month off. A call comes in for a trash can on fire to the rear of a local pizza shop in the village of Neffsville. So we dispatch a single engine out for a trash fire. I take a second call back from the same female asking if we have the FD on the way. I told her yes, they should be arriving shortly and I asked her if anything has changed, she said yes, fire is now blowing out the window of the building. So I dispatch the 1st alarm structure assignment for a working fire and then my shift was over. So of course I had to detour on the way home and got some photos. My wife was not happy for having to get up with Wyatt, but I have a very loving and understanding wife. : )

As you can see, fire vented through the roof and went to a second alarm shortly after.

Have a good morning, see you all for SWF!
