March 31, 2007
By: Junior Firefighter John Morris IV

On March 31st at 900 hours the members of the Avondale Fire Company went to Avon Lake for in-house training. Station 24(Kennett Square) also joined us for the morning of training. The members aligned the apparatus along the lake and practiced drafting and utilizing the deck gun located on top of the engine. During this time older members eligible to drive the apparatus learned how to pump and draft water from the lake. Two members also borrowed cold water rescue gear from station 24 and swam around the lake. The members of AFC had a 1 ¾inch line set up to practice fire suppression techniques. The members of the Avondale Fire Company would like to thank London Grove Township for the use of the lake. We would also like to thank Kennett for joining us and allowing us to utilize their cold water rescue gear.
