Attention all volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel: The recent passage of HB377 in the Senate is the start of a new one-year pilot program that offers emergency services volunteers a $100 tax credit. The bill was supported by both parties in an effort to increase the involvement of volunteers. They budgeted $4.5 million dollars for the credit in the upcoming tax year. If you would like more information on legislation involving emergency sevices volunteers, visit the PA Emergency Services Legislative Alliance at http://capwiz.com/pfesi/home/. Thanks to Bob Timko for the update.

Flammable Liquids Training
The evening of 5/7/08 the department held a flammable liquids live burn training exercise at the York County Fire School. Crews practiced extinguishing flammable liquids fires using both water fog and CAFS applications. The CAFS application was superior, extinguishing the fully involved flammable liquid pit in seconds. Approximately 15 members attended the four hour training session.
