Members spent last evening reviewing SCBA usage and maintenance. A junior member also spent time teaching everyone what he learned about SCBAs during his recent essentials class. We also spent time working on buddy breathing and air transfer for RIT. New members also spent time with blacked out masks traversing obstacles and doing tasks throughout the station.

The officers and members of the Norvelt Volunteer Fire Department wish to extend our condolences to the family, friends, co-workers, and anyone else whose life was touched by Chuck. Chuck fought a courageous battle with cancer all the while he was serving several communities and organizations in so many capacities. He was a police officer, a paramedic, and an instructor just to name a few. Most of all, he was a friend.
Through his interaction as our CPR and First Aid instructor, he became more than just an instructor, he was a mentor and friend to our fire department. We will miss him and never forget the mark he left on our department.
