Happenings at FTFD Week Ending 2/12/2010
Driver\Operator training has begun for the new engine. It will probably take about a month before operators are fully trained and we can get the equipment changed over from the old engine. 
FTFD was alerted of a structure fire Thursday evening. Along with mutual aid from Locke Township, Ellis Crossroads, Woodleaf, and Salisbury's Quint 3.
We arrived to find an apparent kitchen fire. Initial crews pulled an attack line and waited for the backup line to be manned and then entered the structure and extinguished the fire. Salisbury's Quint 3 was assigned primary search. Ellis crews were assigned to water supply, and Locke and Woodleaf crews stood by.
Locke brought there new Rescue truck and along with Rescue 55 had the front of the structure lit up to almost daylight levels.
Many thanks to all mutual aid departments.
