| A group of members took advantage of a rain-free evening to spend some time on pump operations for drill night. Both engines traveled to the pond on Mount Carmel Rd in Orrtanna behind Knouse Foods where members practiced drafting and supplying. Current pump operators got a chance to refresh and future pump operators were able to get some hands on time and start learning some basics. The drill was well attended. Thank you to all who took time out of your evening to participate! |

| With some unusually early winter weather bearing down on the area, it wasn't long before Adams County Control was busy dispatching calls all over the county. Company 4 got involved in the mix shortly after noon when Engine 4-1, Squad 4, Engine/Rescue 2 and Ambulance 2A were dispatched to the 1500 block of Knoxlyn-Orrtanna Rd in Highland Twp (Box Area 4-3) for a vehicle overturned. SQ4 (Chief Nagle) responded with a crew of 5 followed shortly by E4-1 (D/C Bowling) with 5. Crews arrived to find a pick-up truck on its side with all occupants out of the vehicle and no injuries.
While returning to quarters, SQ4 was alerted to the area of 1180 Buchanan Valley Rd (Box Area 27-1) for another vehicle accident. As SQ4 was passing Company 27's station, Chief 27 advised that the actual incident was on Church Rd and that SQ4 could return to service. Within a minute of returning to the station, Company 4 was dispatched to 1865 Carrolls Tract Rd in Hamiltonban Twp (Box Area 4-3) for utility wires down with a tree on fire.
