The Fire Company is pleased to announce that we have placed in service a new utility vehicle. The unit is a 2020 Ford Explorer. The unit designation will be Utility 11-1 and it will support EMS Operations and day to day Fire Operations.

At 1025 the Powellville VFC was alerted for a MVC with Injuries Vehicle Vs. House at the corner of Mt. Hermon Rd and Wango Rd. Upon the arrival of RE 1103 it was determined that there were no injuries. Units turned the scene over to MSP.

The Hogs and Heroes Foundation invited us to their meeting today and presented the Fire Company with a check for $200. Thank you Hogs and Heroes for your donation. It is greatly appreciated. They have also committed a donation of time, materials, and effort to help us paint our hall.

The Powellville Fire Department performed air consumption/search drills last night during our monthly drill night. Crews of two had to enter a designated area and perform searches. Under each cone was a piece of a "puzzle" and could not assemble until all nine pieces were found and all crew members were back at the starting point. Great time by all and great training. Assistant Chief Mitchell reviewed buddy breathing prior to start of the exercises. On a special note, ALL line officers were present and participated in the exercises. ...Leading by example. Thanks to David Haines for the drill idea.
