Last night at our monthly business meeting we were presented with our largest donation to date. George Grauer gave a donation of $100,000 in honor of the late Norman and Marie Kline (George’s in-laws), who donated the land that the firehouse sits on. In addition, Norman was the first fire chief of the Central Berks Fire Company. Accompanied by his family Kenny, Lori and Logan, George presented the check to our fire officers and the president of the fire company. Pictured from left to right: President Randy Dunlap, Deputy Chief Luke Dunlap, Chief Dennis Kunkle, George Grauer, and Assistant Chief Kevin Miller. George, your generous donation is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use!

Lastnight we got called out to assist with a chimney fire. This property presented some interesting challenges that impeded normal operations. With a slate roof and solar panels, our conventional tools were not going to work to gain access. At the end of the day we still got the job done and our new T-38 had its first call under its belt.

Last night we took advantage of the river turning back to a liquid to test out our new (to us) apparatus. It turns out that she can pump, and pump quite well! With a 500 horsepower Detroit Diesel and a 1,750 GPM pump, we had no problem flowing high volumes of water. Due to its excellent performance, we felt comfortable giving it a tanker designation and putting it in service. While it will not fit the traditional role of tanker, it will be an excellent supplement to our fire suppression efforts! In fact at the time of writing this, she already has her first call on the books!
