Grove Hose, Hook & Ladder Fire Company #1 was presented with a FEMA
Grant check from Congressman Tim Holden. The grant is for an
extractor for cleaning tear out gear.
A check was also presented to the
members of the Southern Schuylkill Mutual Aid Association. The
mutual aid association had 13 fire companies apply together for a
regional grant. This grant was for 141 portable radios. This was a
much needed grant so the fire companies could upgrade their current
radios and become more compatible with each other.

Structure Burn Session
North End Fire Company, Hose, Hook
& Ladder Fire Company and Ravine Fire Company participated in a
structure burn session on September 27, 2009. Crews from all three
stations took part in practicing fire suppression, roof crews for
ventilation and R.I.T. Visibility was very low due to heavy smoke
conditions. At some points it was hard to locate the fires due to
the smoke.
Engine 58-15 was utilized
for fire suppression, Ladder 58-25 was provided for the roof crews
and Engine 58-10 was utilized for a back up line for R.I.T.
All crews worked very well together. Thank you to all of the
instructors for taking the time out of your day for us.

Grove Elementary
The local fire companies that are

emergencies, stop, drop and roll and practiced having a meeting
place after they came out of the fire safety house.
Thank you to everyone that who
helped out throughout the day.
