No.7
Gets MDT's Online
1/17/11
A few weeks ago, three Penn Hills fire companies (221, 222, 227)
were asked to participate in Allegheny County's New CAD MDT
(Mobile Data Terminal) test program. There are about a
dozen fire companies within Allegheny that are participating in
the test program. And last night after 3 1/2 of technical
support they were live. This will give first responder a
live second by second update of incoming information related to
all on going fire calls. Training is on going, and this is
one piece of technology that will be valuable to all field
units. These MDT's will be placed into EN-227 & R-227.
NEW Truck 227
7/16/10
Today, The Officers of Penn Hills No.7 are pleased to announce
the purchase and delivery of a new 2009 Pierce Arrow XT 100'
Aluminum Rear Mount Platform. This ladder truck was a demo
from Pierce Manufacturing and is replacing our 28 year old
ladder truck that was taken out of service. Members have
been busy training on set-up and driving, now that the platform
is in the front of the truck. Truck 227 is in service, and
the new truck has already seen action. Tools & equipment
are being mounted daily! Graphics should be completed by
the middle of August. The Members & Officers would like to
extend a THANK YOU to the Penn Hills Mayor & Council.
Without the pledge of assistance from Mayor & Council, the
purchase of this MUCH NEEDED piece of equipment would not have
been possible.
EN-227-2
SOLD
7/7/10
Today, EN-227-2 was sold to Rosedale VFC (St.222).
EN-227-2 served St.227 for countless years and we are glad to
know that it will serve St.222 for many many years to come!
Truck 227 OOS
6/6/10
It was deep regrets that the Officer announced today that Truck
227 is being taken out of service. The aerial truck served
the Penn Hills Community for 27 years. Recent mechanical
problems have forced the Officers to take the aerial truck out
of service. The Officers and Members are exploring all
possibilities to rectify this situation. Please check back
for further updates.
