Engine 22 was recently selected by KME, Fire Rescue Products and Fire Apparatus Magazine to be featured in an article in the FDIC edition of Fire Apparatus Magazine highlighting our ingenuity in designing a cost effective Engine. As part of that we have completed the graphics through Sheaffer Signs in Lewisberry, PA. We will post some of the photo shoot pictures as they come through.
Eagle Fire Company is proud to announce that on February 21st we have joined forces with York Area United Fire Rescue. The opportunity will help our department save money through bulk purchasing, enhance our operations as we will adopt all regional procedures and policy's and help create better emergency response personnel as we will now be training on a regional level.

Engiine 22-1 which was only 1 mile away returning from standby coverage at Hellam Fire Company arrived on scene within 1 1/2 minutes. Engine 22-1 stretched a 200' 1 3/4" crosslay to the front door and made entry to investigate with a 20lb dry chemical extinguisher after the homeowner advised that she thought it may be an electrical fire. Chief 22 (Brenneman) established Liberty Drive command. Chief 22-2 (Kane) was assigned as accountability officer. Firefighter J. Bush had the knock down with the extinguisher and interior crews started to remove a bed that became involved due to it being up against the outlet that was sparking. Engine 22-2 arrived on scene with Tanker 22 and began to set up portable tank operations due to the mobile home park not having access to any fire hydrants. Engine 23-2 (Manchester) arrived on scene and provided additional manpower to exterior side Charlie and Chief 23-2 took up interior. Truck 24 (Manchester Twp) arrived and secured all utilities to the home enabling a safe overhaul operation of the involved bedroom. Engine 24 (Manchester Twp) arrived and provided RIT / Manpower. The affected section of the wall was was removed as well as the insulation around it that was also burnt.

Eagle Fire Company sends it's condolences to Hellam Fire Company and Wrightsville Fire Company on the loss of a great brother and friend Mike Enochs. Firefighter Enochs lost his battle with cancer this past week. His life was cut short, but while he was here filled his friends and family with good memories and laughter. We were privileged enough to provide standby support for Station 21 while they paid their respects and had one last time to say goodbye. There is no doubt by the stories told at the ceremony of life that he will never be forgotten. Rest in peace brother.
