| 10-31-06 Tuesday > A big thanks goes out to the community and our friends from various area Fire/EMS agencies that helped to make this year's Fall Breakfast a big success. We sold around 450 tickets, and everybody had a good time as always. Thank you. 10-08-06 Sunday > UDVFC3 would like to welcome Firefighter Nathan Mixner. He has served our community in the past with company 1 and with UDEMS. He is also currently an active volunteer with Bridgeton Emergency Ambulance Association. We are very pleased to have Nate with us and look forward to working beside him. > National Fire Prevention Week has begun. Check our Fire Prevention section for useful and potentially life saving information on how to prevent fires in the home. 10-04-06 Wednesday > Next week is National Fire Prevention Week. To celebrate, in addition to our usual demonstrations at area schools, this year UDVFC #3 will also be doing educational demonstrations for the public. As always, educational materials and basic fire safety information for all will be available, plus giveaways for children, tours of our equipment and free smoke detectors to those who need them. > This Saturday, October 7th, from 9am-12pm, at the Acme Supermarket on Cornwell Drive. > Next Saturday, October 14th, from 10am to 5pm at the Walmart Department Store on State Highway 77. Our sister companies will also be available at this location. 09-24-06 Sunday > Drill held this morning with Centerton Fire Company (Salem County). Engine 3302 drafted from Palatine Lake, pumped to engine 3301, which supplied Ladder 23-6. The drill was to further train our members how to draft, operate the trucks' different pumps, and to learn a bit more about operating a 100 foot ladder, as ours' is due within a years time. We all learned a lot. It was great to work with the boys from Centerton, and we hope to do it again soon. 09-11-06 Monday > Members: Since we've been having so many problems with access to the "Member's Only" feature, it has been completely redone. Please contact Zachary anytime for access. 09-07-06 Thursday > Members: Cumberland County Training Center Classes are now listed on the calender in the "Member's Only" section. 09-06-06 Wednesday > Thought it was time for a cleaner look for the site. Hope you enjoy. 09-04-06 Monday > Busy weekend. Friday night (09-01-06) brought our Spanish friend Ernesto to town with wind gusts over 40mph and lots of cold, stinging rain and plunged thousands in the area into darkness. Station 33 answered four calls throughout the night related to the storm. Firefighters also responded to an MVA Saturday morning at an intersection still without power. And last, but not least, Saturday night led us to the City of Bridgeton to assist with a second alarm / box assignment on a large Victorian dwelling. We're proud to have been able to assist, although Seven House had things well under control. Check the "Recent Calls" for more. 09-01-06 Friday > Not a lot. August was a slow month for Station 33. Call stats will be up shortly. We are currently working on several projects to expand our capabilities to serve our population. As things begin to happen, more will be posted... 08-18-06 Friday > The "Recent Calls" section is now operational and will be updated with basic information about most calls we have. Also, visit the new "Fire Prevention" link. It will be greatly expanding in the near future to provide as much information as possible. 07-19-06 Tuesday > Information on how to join our Company can now be found by clicking on the "JOIN" link in the navigation bar above. 07-14-06 Thursday > Expanded apparatus pages with new and larger pictures. Click on any truck to see all sides and detailed close-ups. Coming soon: interior views of the apparatus. 07-13-06 Wednesday > CPR/AED training held at Station 33. Chief Judy Zirkle of Upper Deerfield Emergency Medical Services taught an American Heart Association refresher course on CPR and Defibrillation to the station's membership as well as a few civilians. We consider this evening's training a resounding success and a testament to our commitment to serving our community. 07-11-06 Monday > Congratulations to Robbie Matlock and Matthew Hewitt, who recently completed Firefighter I training at the Cumberland County Fire and EMS Training Center. Graduation ceremonies were held this evening at Cumberland County College. We are thrilled and very proud to add them to our roster of dedicated firefighters. 07-10-06 Sunday > www.udvfc.com is born! |
