| Members left the firehouse around 0700 hrs Friday morning to make the trip the 4 Guys plant in Meyersdale to perform the final inspection. After handling a few odds and ends, doing some test driving, receiving training on the pump and signing the final paperwork, the committee hit the road with the tanker arriving home around 1800 hrs. Danz Lettering will begin the lettering and striping process on Monday, November 28 and the installation of the Adams and Franklin County mobile radios is scheduled for the same week. Driver training will start immediately and it won't be long now until you hear the "Tanker 4" call sign on the radio. |

| After three full days of careful work, Danz Lettering finished up on the tanker this evening. He did an outstanding job and left us with a very attractive piece of apparatus. While in the house, Dan also replaced the lettering on the back doors of Squad 4 which were sanded down and repainted earlier this year due to corrosion around the door handle. It was relettered as "Rescue 4" in preparation for its impending redesignation next year. |
