Our annual Dollar General Firefighter Drink Drive has begun and we are off to a huge start. Thank you to Manager, Diane Opsitnick for putting this together and to those who have already donated or will donate in the coming weeks! We will distribute the beverages amongst the local Volunteer Fire Departments, as we did last year. You are also welcomed to drop off a case of water and/or sports hydrating drink at the fire station at any time. We appreciate the community’s support in helping us to stay hydrated throughout the year, especially during the hot summer months!

Engine 34 with a crew of 5 participated in the triennial disaster drill at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport. The Engine was assigned water supply for mass decontamination operations, with the crew assisting passengers through the decontamination stations.

Flashing sirens, a decontamination zone and firefighters escorting patients who can’t walk to triage sites are a rare sight at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, but not as rare as one
