Crew 72 News

11.19.11 Not much to report for now, we've had quite a few old photos show up
            which will take me a while to process. Lately there has been no fire, just
            had a PA130 Class in Newberry Town, the class went well and we are
           going into hibernation untill spring!
8.1.11 There have been almost too many things to list since the site has last been 
            updated! So sorry for the lack of updates, anyway we had the Grand Opening
            of the Forest Fire Museum in Caledonia State Park back in May which went
            well except for the hard rain we recieved durring the opening cerimonies. We also 
            We were at the Gettysburg Re-enactment on the weekend of the 4th and were 
            involved in the lightning strike with 5 people injured, and also had a 10 acre woods
            fire in the Michaux. I'll try and post some new pictures of all the recent events soon!

4.3.11 Well after several months of computer issues We now have a new one
             so the updates to the site should be uninterupted. So far this year we 
             have had one call in Glen Rock, one in Lancaster, and a few others 
             in the area. We also were turned down for the National Museum in Harrisburg
             due to a 911 memorial taking up our space. Also we would like to welcome
             Keith Ewan as our new fire Forester in the Michaux, taking the place of
             Rod Lyon who moved up the chain to an ADF. Congratulations Rod!
             Keep comming back as there will be a lot of changes to the site in
              the near future!

12.20.2010 FINALY!!! After months of computer issues I am back up and running. 
              Since July we have had many things to discuss and document and now you
              can start checking back as I will be updating the site! 
                   Some things I will post soon are:
                        1. We met our first warden Bob Schod 
                        2. We have been selected to put up a display at the 
                            PA Fire Museum in Harrisburg
                        3. We had several calls including some in Lancaster Co.

7.10.10 WE HAVE A NEW LIFE MEMBER! For only the third time in the history
             of the crew BRIAN FAIR has recieved his life membership. He was a bit
             taken back and speachless for the first time in ten years since 
             I've known him, surrounded by family and friends, the suprise went well.
             SORRY for those who could not make it or we failed to invite. 
             Also Gettysburg went well. We sent a crew of 6 to Lancaster for a fire 
             the size of baseball... not the field just the ball! It was an overall 
             good detail and we gained enough stories to make the 3 hour 
             round trip worth it.
