2.  Training tomorrow night will be on hose lays, hose load and all things to do with hose.  7 PM at station 2.

3.  For those wanting to participate in the September 11 program, please be in uniform at your station by 6:10 PM.  We will need to be at Meade Olin Park by 6:25 PM.  The procession leaves promptly at 6:30 PM.  I could use some help Thursday to make sure station one is clean.  After the ceremony, there will be cake and such at our station.

4.  Insulation is being applied to the roof are of our new station.  There are rolls of insulation that are being rolled out.  After this is done, they should apply roof deck. 

5.  There will be a memorial service for Auxiliary member Trudy Siewart this Saturday at 2 PM at the Rock Haven Baptist Church.  If you can attend, this will show support for our fellow firefighter.

Rescue 43 was taken out today for a test run. Everything was a success! R43 is not in service at this time but will be very soon. It is currently awaiting some additional equipment prior to being placed in service.

The website has been updated- with a (hopefully) slicker interface- and updated information. For those Officers and individuals interested in assisting in keeping up with news articles please email me as soon as possible.

Thanks.
