STATION 95 Platoon A Whacker Tour 2007

[ldrco195 17]

We spent the day with Monroeville VFD #5. Volunteers of Co. 5 have 2 E-One Engines, 135 E-One Ladder, 2 ALS Med Units and a couple other support vehicles. They are an all volunteer organization handling approx 1400 calls per year. They have a live in program at the fifth district and currently have 8 live in members. check out their website @ www.mvfd5.com. They are just one station of 5 in the Municipality of Monroeville.

We had 7 Platoon A members present along with a throng of #5 Volunteers. It was a great day. Brother Husky made a tremendous breakfast for all with some assistance from the crew. We staffed both engines, the ladder, and 2 ems units with a total of 20 volunteers present !! Even with all of the staff their we only ran a CO call (engine only) and Ambulance call. Later Brother Hank Grimes prepared some wedding soup, artichoke dip, and crab dip that his wife prepared the night before. The top of it all was the Captain Knapp of Platoon A prepared some home made fettucini chicken alfredo with a tremondous salad.

Everyone had a great time and the next trip will be on January 24th to Berkeley Hills VFC, Co. 247.
