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

  The Doylestown Fire Company traveled to Kendall Park, NJ on Saturday June 28 to take part in the Double Wetdown at the Kendall Park Volunteer Fire Company. One of our own, Nick Berezansky, moved back to his home state of New Jersey and joined the Kendall Park Volunteer Fire Company. We decided to bring some Doylestown to Nick as he celebrated with his new company the housing of their new 2006 E-One Pumper and 2007 E-One Ladder. After a quick parade, we were directed into the wet zone where we had a chance to wet down the new apparatus. Of course, we also had a chance to soak down all the other companies that showed up as well. After about an hour of stretching hose lines and getting drenched, we packed the trucks back up and had lunch provided to us by the Kendall Park Volunteer Fire Company. Photos by Sara Grogan.

The wetdown crew from Doylestown included Lacy Miles, Grant Castor, Matt Grogan, Lt 79 Jeff Kennedy, Jon Arthur, Mike Suessenguth, Aaron Soldavin, Dan Alexander, and Tom Goad.
