Volunteer and career firefighters from Penn Township and Hanover Fire Departments trained this evening on breaching walls and large area search techniques at the old car dealership on Eisenhower Drive beside Bay City. Over the next few months, many training sessions will be held in this building along with the old Pizza Hut before they are torn down making way for a strip mall of several businesses. 911 Photography Photos

With the recent “Pokemon Go” craze sweeping the nation, numerous reports are coming in from across the country of distracted pedestrians and drivers playing the game. As a public service announcement, we urge motorists to be on the lookout for inattentive pedestrians and erratic drivers. The Pennsylvania State Police just issued a Community Awareness Bulletin pertaining to personal safety while playing the game. Happy hunting!

Four joint department training this evening, crews cut apart two vehicles using the hydraulic rescue tools off of Rescue 49. More commonly known as the “Jaws of Life”, hydraulic rescue tools are used to rescue occupants who are trapped in a vehicle. The newer members of the department were guided through basic evolutions such as the “two door swing”, roof removal, roof flap, and dashboard lifting/jacking. A HUGE thank you goes out to Mike’s Towing and Recovery. Mike’s provided two vehicles and use of their facility for our training.
Hanover Fire Dept Engine 46-1 staged in front of the Walnut Street Apartments after responding for the box alarm. Firefighters found a smoke alarm activated in the hallway of the building. Before clearing the scene, the box activated again. The facility maintenance was requested to respond to the scene.

The semi-annual softball game between the career fire and EMS personnel of Hanover and Penn Township Fire Departments played the police departments of the same municipalities this afternoon with the “Hoses” winning the game 26-18. Plenty of hard hitting players on both sides made the game a lot of fun and interesting. We thank all the friends and families that came out to cheer us on. This is truly what Brotherhood is all about!
For the regularly scheduled shift training, C Shift toured the Lyric Band building on York Street in Hanover Borough. This building was originally the YMCA and was constructed in the early Twentieth Century. The type of construction found in this building is often called “Legacy Construction” by the fire service. Many interesting features were found in this building such as a wooden indoor track that used to exist above the main gym floor. Facility tours such as this allow crews to obtain vital information about a building in the event of fire or other emergency.
