On Saturday, Chief Engineer Wayne Brion and several other members arrived at the firehouse at 7:00 am to start our annual  oil change and maintenance on our apparatus.  Every year, we change oil, filters and air filters on each rig, change oil and filters on all of our generators and do other maintenance tasks, such as checking brakes, tires, king pins etc.  This is in addition to weekly maintenance performed on each rig throughout the year. 

As the day wore on, more and more members came to the station and helped out doing other tasks, like cleaning and lubricating all of the pump connections, adapters and suction hoses.  By 4:00 pm, all 7 pieces of apparatus were done.  This was a new station record.

Thanks to all of the members that helped out to make this possible.  By doing this work in house, the Company saved several thousand dollars, and several days of unit out-of-service time.  Thanks also to Donnie Herr of Edgar M. Herr Trucking in Quarryville for the donation of the filters for the Mack's.
