Fire Training: At the monthly fire training the fire crews worked on handline advancement. On Saturday December 7th several drivers spent the day at the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center getting familiar with pumping the new Tanker 405.

Community Relations: The department participated in three community relations events this month. Friday December 3rd Truck 403 and Ambulance 402 assisted the Intercourse Merchants Association with their Christmas Village event. The Tower gave bucket rides and did a show and tell of the unit along with Ambulance 403. The crew also participate in the welcoming of Santa to the event and well as joining in on the Christmas Caroling.
