Fire Drill and Incident Preplanning at Tel Hai Retirement Community

On the evening of Monday, May 18, crews loaded up in Engine 4-9-2, Tanker 4-9, and Squad 4-9 and traveled to the Tel Hai Retirement Community on Beaver Dam Road in Honey Brook Township to assist the Honey Brook Fire Company (Station 33) in set up for a simulated building fire and evacuation.\
\
White Horse’s units met up with units from Honey Brook, Martin’s Corner, and Liberty-New Holland at Station 33 before proceeding to Tel Hai. Once at Tel Hai, the 4-9 units staged with Engine 33-2 in front of Tel Hai’s chapel and kitchen and connected to the water supply system.\
\
Once that was completed, the White Horse crews joined firefighters from the other companies that were not involved in the fire drill for a brief refresher in standpipe operations.\
\
Truck 3-9 set up at various locations around the campus to check accessibility options.\
\
After the evenings activities were completed, all units returned to Station 33 for a brief critique session and cake and ice cream.\
\
Thank You to Station 33 for the invitation to train, and Thank You to Tel Hai Retirement Community for allowing us to use the facilities!\
