Today, Penn Wynne members went to Presentation B.V.M. School for a public
fire education event during their Flower Sale. The rainy weather didn't hamper the enthusiasm of the youngsters
who were able to squirt the booster line and check out the crew cab of the engine. Thanks to the event
organizers who provided us complimentary food and beverages.
BASIC VEHICLE RESCUE OPERATIONS CLASS
Date:
4/20/05
Tonight, members finished up the BVR Operations
class at the Lower Merion Township Training Grounds. The group was split in half and performed two rescue scenarios.
Afterwards, the group went to the Belmont Hills firehouse to take the written test. We are pleased
to announce that everyone passed. Next week starts BVR Technician, so stay tuned. Fire wise, it has
been pretty routine. The company has responded to a bunch of automatic fire alarms, a boiler malfunction,
a wooden frame for concrete forming fire, and an uneventful vehicle fire.

good time was had by all and hopefully the students will pass along what they learned to their friends.

RESCUE 21 COLOR CHOICES
Date:
4/1/05
With the arrival of a new Pierce rescue truck on the horizon in the Summer of 2005 for Penn Wynne, many have asked, "What color
will the new piece of apparatus be?" Convention would assume, that it will be the traditional, slime-lime over white to keep
constant with current Station 21 apparatus. In an unprecedented move though, the powers that be have decided to stray from
the traditional colors and have narrowed it down to two color schemes for you, the PennWynneFire.org viewer to choose
between for the new color of Rescue 21. Will it be option "Black over Slime-Lime" (left) or option "White with Black and Orange Striping" (right)? Happy April
Fools Day!
