All Volunteer Stations, 19 & 79, Bucks County, PA

  On Saturday, August 11th, the Fire Company was invited to participate in a hand tool basics drill at the Pine Run Community located at 777 Ferry Road in Doylestown Township. We were able to practice with forcible entry tools, wall breaching, and roof work. The members in attendance also had a chance to take a look at different kind of building construction and hone their skills. Thank you to Bill Meyer and the staff at Pine Run for allowing us to practice at their site. Photos from Matt Grogan.
