George, Jr. Park in Paxtonia and had participated in National Night Out. This is an event that not only Lower Paxton Township, but the whole nation can partake in and gain knowledge from and have fun too. For the first time for this type of event, Colonial Park and Linglestown performed a vehicle extrication demo for the public. The public had the first operation of what we do during a vehicle extrication narrated by Captain 35, S. Harp. Following the narration crews did the demo in full speed and took the roof, doors, and lifted/rolled the dash. Both departments worked extremely well together. Life Lion was also in attendance as well as many other agencies that help support Lower Paxton Township.<p></p><p><a href="http://www.linglestownfire.org/EVENT_DETAIL.aspx?event_id=586">Go To Website</a></p>Tue, 02 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.linglestownfire.org/EVENT_DETAIL.aspx?event_id=586Basic Drillhttp://www.linglestownfire.org/EVENT_DETAIL.aspx?event_id=585Shortly before midnight the tones were dropped for a structure fire in Fishing Creek Valley, just over Blue Mountain Parkway from Linglestown. The Air responded with 2, seconds after dispatch. DCEMA advised Chief 38 they had multiple calls, and Chief 38 put the 1st alarm out adding the Tanker to the box. The Air was the first arriving fire apparatus and staged behind Ambulance 9-2 so apparatus with fire suppression capabilities could access the scene from the east side of Fishing Creek Valley Road. The Air filled approximately 20 cylinders and was on scene for about 2 hours before being released by command 38. The Tanker arrived behind Engine 36-3 and directly supplied them until the full 2,500 gallons of water was used. The Tanker used 1 full tank of water and was released by command after filling up at Central Dauphin High School. A rekindle was dispatched several hours later for the Air, but the Air was placed in service by 38 shortly after.<p></p><p><a href="http://www.linglestownfire.org/EVENT_DETAIL.aspx?event_id=585">Go To Website</a></p>Sun, 31 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.linglestownfire.org/EVENT_DETAIL.aspx?event_id=585Basic Drillhttp://www.linglestownfire.org/EVENT_DETAIL.aspx?event_id=584This evening members took the Engine, Rescue and Truck down to Ritas in support for Katyes helping hands.

The Engine was the apparatus chosen to attend by the crew and arrived to set up a table with childrens coloring books, various plastic badges, plastic helmets, and balloons. Everyone got to experience and see the tools we use when we do our job and also had the chance to try on what we wear. Also in attendance was the Lower Paxton Police Department to teach children and adults the importance of bicycle safety and also to show proper car seat installations. During the event, the crew was treated with lunch and had a great time.
