Is the rear an intake or discharge or both and what's your pump and tank size guys

Who does the graphics on the engine, manufacturer or is it an aftermarket thing? Just curious about it.

Just before 1800 hours, township companies along with companies 14, 52, and RIT and MICU 23 were dispatched to the 400 block of Christian Lane for a reported house fire. Chief 65 arrived on scene with a 2 story single family with nothing evident from the exterior. Upon further investigation, a fire was found on the stove which was starting to extend into the hood and cabinets above. Engine 65 arrived and stretched a line inside. The crew was quickly able to knock the fire down using a dry chemical extinguisher to prevent any further damage or extension. Chief 65 had the command.

Engine 65-1 for now

Looking good so far!

Safe travels.

When the GCFD was on Blakeley RD, there was a plaque outside dedicated to those who served in WWII. My father & his 4 brothers were listed, Townsend. My uncle, Verne, was at the top as paying Supreme Sacrifice. If the plaque is still there, could someone please take a photo & post on FB? I would love to see it again. Thank you.

Will this be the new 65-1 or 65-2

Cool.

Just after 1300 hours today, township companies were dispatched to the 300 block of Governors Dr for a brush fire. Engine 65 arrived on scene to find outdoor furniture on fire against the building. The crew from the engine placed an attack line in service and quickly knocked the fire. Minor extension was found in the soffit area and crews overhauled the area and hit any hot spots. As the Engine was clearing, the box was dispatched to the 600 block of S Chester Road for a commercial building fire. Crews located a malfunctioning heater and the assignment was scaled back. Engine 65 also handled a car fire shortly after which turned out to be an overheated vehicle. ... See MoreSee Less

Last night NBC10’s event at the fire house couldn’t have gone any better. We cannot thank them enough for coming to the station and promoting not only the township fire companies but all volunteer companies across our region. It is our hope that people across our area see the impact volunteer fire companies have on their communities. We ask anyone who has any type of skill set that you think would benefit the fire companies, to please stop by any Wednesday night at 7pm. If you don’t have a specific skill set and you just want to help out, we will provide you with the necessary training. Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their night to come to the station! ... See MoreSee Less
