    Today “C” Shift from Local 2045 attended 2 tours in our first due. The first one was a downtown tour of Center Square. Commissioner Roth (retired), shared his 40+ years of knowledge by leading the tour and showing us the ins and outs of downtown Hanover. The second tour was SKF Metal Fabrication in Penn Township. SKF is on plant shut down and their safety director wanted us to look over their confined spaces. Local 2045 members reviewed their confine spaces to ensure we are prepared to make rescues from these areas if ever needed. Knowledge was gained today for everyone in attendance, Thank you to Commissioner Roth for sharing your knowledge and SKF for inviting us to be more prepared to serve you and our citizens for inviting us to be more prepared to serve you and our citizen!

Then firefighter Lalley dressed up in his fire gear and airpack to show the children what a firefighter looks like.
