Friday, July 2, 2010 06:58 - The volunteers from company 5-5 handled four calls for service and worked a fund raiser over the Independence Day weekend. The first call was around 0700 hrs. on Friday morning, when RE 5-5-1, assisted by E 5-11-1 (West Willow), handled a vehicle accident a block from the station, at Rt. 324 and Long Lane. Units arrived to find a two vehicle crash, involving a small sedan and a full size pickup truck. Volunteers assisted the EMS crew from SVEMS by stabilizing the sedan, and removing a door from the vehicle. Volunteers from both township companies worked to control a rather large spill of fluids from the vehicles. Fire police from the Pequea Township companies, and stations 5-3 (Conestoga) and 5-12 (Willow Street) controlled traffic.
At 1441 hrs. on Saturday, RE 5-5-1 was requested to transfer to station 5-8 (Rawlinsville), as their units were committed on a building fire in the 5-7 (Quarryville) first due. RE 5-5-1, with a crew of five, stood by at 5-8, with Engine 5-6-1 (Pequea) and York Co. Tanker 55 (Airville). The rescue engine returned home around 1800. The rescue engine hit the road again, at 2137, for a water rescue call in the area of the Slackwater bridge. 6-5 (Millersville) handled the incident, which was on the Manor Township side of the river.
At 1447 hrs on Sunday, the Tanker was requested to 5-8, to cover Martic Twp. while units were on a woods fire in the 5-6 first due. Tanker stood by at 5-8 with an engine from Whiteford MD, for several hours.
Several members spent Friday and Saturday evening working a festival stand in Marietta, as a fund raiser for NDFC. This was a successful event, thanks to the volunteers who spent time on this, and thanks to 7-10 (Marietta) for the opportunity to participate in the event.
