On Wednesday, Company 5 members completed a tour of the Clearfield County Jail. The tour ensures that we are prepared for any emergencies that may arise and render our services. After the tour, members applied a fresh coat of wax to the apparatus. We take pride in keeping the apparatus in flawless condition.

Thursday, Company 5 was dispatched to assist the police department with a no-injury accident with hazards in the area of the 1300 block of Woodland Rd. Rescue 5 responded and assisted with traffic control and cleanup. Chief 5 had the command.

Friday morning, Clearfield County 911 alerted company 5 to an electrical hazard at 115 21st St, the Clearfield County Jail. Shortly after dispatch, the call was upgraded to a possible building fire with a smoke odor in the kitchen area. Chief, Engine, and Rescue 5 responded. After a short investigation, units cleared the scene. Clearfield Fire Dept., Hyde Fire Department, Glen Richey Fire Co, and Rescue Hose & Ladder Co.were also dispatched to assist.

After returning to the station, Company 5 was dispatched to a truck fire at the 112 E mile marker of Interstate 80. Chief 5 arrived and requested Penfield Volunteer Fire Department Station 41 due to several spot fires along the roadway. A short time later, the Clearfield Fire Dept. brush truck was requested to the scene. The fire was quickly contained, and units cleared the scene after about an hour.

Today, our members participated in the annual six-hour Hazardous Materials Operations refresher course, led by instructor Ethan Fritz. The Hazardous Materials Refresher is an annual mandatory training requirement for first responders, including firefighters, EMS personnel, and police officers, to safely identify, manage, and mitigate hazardous substances. Following a brief presentation and discussion, members engaged in a practical exercise, setting up a decontamination line in response to a simulated hazardous spill. With numerous hazardous materials transported through our area on Interstate 80 daily, it is essential for our members to be adequately prepared. We extend our gratitude to instructor Fritz for dedicating his time to lead the training session during his holiday weekend. www.lt5fd.com
