The equipment purchased with the 2009/2010 VFCVAS (Volunteer Fire Company & Volunteer Ambulance Service) Grant Program from the Penna. Fire Commissioner has all finally arrived. With this grant totaling $11,228.15 we were able to purchase the following needed equipment.
A 6 person Aqua Vest Rehab System that consists of a cooler with a water pump that pumps ice water through 6 hoses into vests lined with several feet of smaller hose to cool firefighters after fires or rescues in exterme high tempratures.
A 3000 watt generator to run the rehab equipment and other items carried on our QRS unit.
An ice making machine with a 500lb. reserve storage capacity to supply ice for the vest system and for drinking water.
30 Sections of 1 3/4inch firefighting hose to replace some of our aging fire attack hose
4 Smooth bore stacked tip nozzles to add to the inventory of automatic fog nozzles purchased several years ago.
A mobile hose drier / Hose tower, PPE Drying stand to properly dry our fabric hose to keep it from becoming moldy and rotting if stored wet.
We would like to thank the State of Pennsylvania and the Fire Commissioners Office for this grant program and look forward to it being continued so Voulnteer Fire & Ambulance companies can continue to get the funding they need.
