Campville Fire Wire

• Pancake Breakfast
  Our pancake breakfast and open house was a huge success. The number of neighbors who joined us far exceeded any past year totals. Our members would like to thank all of you for your support. Hope to see all of you again in the spring.

• Boy Scouts
  We had the pleasure of showing our house and equipment to Boy Scout Troop Pack 208 and some of their parents and family members this month. A few of our members volunteered their time and took a group of boys on a tour of the trucks, boat and ambulance at Station 1. The boys also had a treat when one of our members dressed up in full gear. Education is a good tool for everyone and a benefit for the firemen and squad when we come on a call in the neighborhood. The boys and their families now have an idea of what a firemen looks like in full gear and what the vehicles look like. The evening ended with cider and cookies and goodie bags. 

• Community Service
  Our service this month was on site availability at Tioga Gardens Goes Goolish on Friday and Saturday evenings. Our volunteers helped with traffic control and available medical care as needed. The weather didn't seem to put a damper on activities and the crowds were enjoying the event.

• Firemen's Home
  Our bus trip to the New York State Volunteer Firemen's Home in Hudson was enjoyable. The day was perfect weatherwise and the scenery was breathtaking. The members were able to spend the afternoon outside with us and enjoyed the barbecue and the company. The musuem is something everyone in the fire service would enjoy seeing. 

• Training
  October was a busy month for conferences for our squad members.  Nine members of the squad attended the Concepts In Trauma conference at the Treadway in Owego. Some of you may have seen statmedevac sitting outside during the conference. Two weeks later Syracuse hosted Vitals 2006 and two of our squad were able to attend that two day conference. In house the squad was busy updating on the new CPR skills and  requirements. We thank these members for volunteering their time to attend and update their medical education. New York state requires our squad to obtain a number of hours of training every six months. 

• Sick Call
  Many thanks to all for your prayers and thoughts that go out to our family members, Bernie Sable and Ron Ford. 

• Membership
  We had a few people pick up applications at our open house and Boy Scout night. Please take the opportunity to stop by on a Tuesday evening and explore the opportunities we have available. We are always looking for volunteers.

• Election Day
  Campville Station 1 will be the election poll for many districts. Please enter through the rear doors of the station. 
  All of our members would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
