Hey everyone, Thanks for allowing me to be part of your group. I am a lifetime member of the Shinglehouse Vol. Fire Dept. (Station 39) in Potter County, Pa. We cover approx. 450 square miles in our district along with mutual aid with the surrounding departments. Since we are close to the New York state line we do mutual aid there also. We average about 370 Ambulance calls per/yr and 75 Fire calls per/yr.
We have 2 engines,( one being our Mini attack pumper which also carries our rescue tools for MVA's ), 1 tanker/pumper, 1 rescue, 2 brush trucks, 1 rescue Kubota for land rescues and wildfires, and 2 ambulances.
A lot of the area we cover is rural.
This year starting out we have had more mutual aid calls than our own I believe. We just had our big wildfire that was in the woods last weekend, approx. 67 acres. Almost got a water drop but got called off. Nothing like the guys down in S.C. though!! Praying for you guys down there. Well enough of me. Have a great weekend and stay safe!!

Tsup? thanks for having me in this group. I,m a member of the Perrysburg Volunteer Fire Dept. in Perrysburg N.Y. We are about 40 strong and I,m one of the newest members.Nothing quite like the feeling of belonging that comes with being a member of a group that does so much while asking for so little.

HI, everyone. I'm from Chester, W.Va. I'm with the Lawrenceville VFD. We cover suburban to rural area, with assistance calls in Hancock County, WV, Beaver County, PA, and Columbiana County, Ohio. We have 2 heavy engines (both HME's), an 1800 gallon tanker (4-Guys body on a '91 International chassis), and we just got a GMC squad/mini-pumper. We average around 120 calls a year, mostly medical and rescue.
