Thank You Hooversville

Sunday, November 4, 2012  A great amount of Thanks is sent to Hooversville Fire Department of Pennsylvania for their great donation of a 1981 Mack CF pumper and various equipment.  This vehicle was of great need since all of our firefighting equipment was wiped out with the exception of hose and fittings.  This vehicle enables use to once again protect the neighborhood as we seem fit, with dedication and self sacrifice.

We continue to take donations since our specialized equipment has also been lost.  Such Vehicle extrication equipment, including the "Jaws of Life", spreader, cutter, rams and air bags.  We have also lost many meters for gas leaks, Carbon Monoxide and such which are the majority of our calls in the upcoming winter season.

     

WHBFD says Thank You



 

HURRICANE SANDY - WIPES OUT OPERATIONS

Monday, October 29, 2012  We are in desperate need of any possible help available.


Due to Hurricane Sandy and the tidal surge we have lost all of our equipment, whether through it simply floating away or by salt water damage and flooding.  We have lost 6 vehicles, 2 pumpers, 2 ambulances, 1 4x4 Brush Fire Unit and a Command Vehicle. Just visit our apparatus page and see what was lost.  We have also lost thousands of dollars worth of tools.  Tools such as Carbon Monoxide detectors, a Thermal Imaging Camera, Portable Radios, Mobile Radios, Vehicle Extrication Tools,  Forcible Entry Tools and more.


Numerous amounts of members gear was also destroyed and deemed unwearable.  If there are any Fire Departments, Police Departments, Corporations, Small businesses and just volunteers, that can help, please do so, we Desperately need it.
