New Rescue Equipment Practice

Thursday, April 7, 2011  At weekly practice, the EGFD used their new Amkus Portable Power unit and Speedway Cutter for the first time.  These new pieces of equipment were purchased utilizing funds supplied through the Volunteer Fire Company and Volunteer Ambulance Service Grant Program administered by the Pennsylvania Office of the State Commissioner.  Each year, the EGFD has utilized funds from this grant stream to replace equipment, assist with apparatus payments and complete station upgrades.  Meeting the member's approval, this new rescue equipment has been placed in service to replace some aging equipment.
