11.29.16 Drill Tower Addition Update
As many of you already know, the project to construct an addition to the drill tower was approved and is moving forward. The addition will significantly enhance our ability to deliver live fire training. We anticipate the construction will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2017.

While the tower is not available for training until constructed is complete, we are still delivering training with all of our other resources. Please bear with us. We will release the Winter/Spring semester course list shortly.

On behalf of the entire staff, we wish all of you and your families a wonderful holiday season. Stay safe, keep training.

08.09.16 Fall Course Announcements/Academy Update
The first half of the year is a thing of the past. We are gearing up for a very busy fall semester. We have a full course offering for you. First things first.

We are very excited to announce our plan to upgrade the drill tower has been approved. The recently approved and funded project calls for the addition of two live burn rooms to the first floor on the north end of the tower. This addition will significantly enhance our ability to deliver live fire training. We will be breaking ground early this fall.

Unfortunately, the addition will create some challenges for us. The most significant being a challenge to our scheduling ability. The construction timeline is not finalized and therefore, we cannot rely on the tower's availability for the demanding use required for a Firefighter 1 course. Unfortunately the construction project will keep us from delivering our staple program this fall. Firefighter 1 will be back and better than ever in the Winter/Spring of 2017.

We ask for your patience while we enhance our facility to accommodate your training needs.

Now, we have heard your requests and will use the time we have available to deliver many of the classes you have been asking for. In addition to Fall semester staples like Pump Ops and CEVO, we will offer, Rapid Intervention Awareness and Operations, another Advanced SCBA & Air Management, ICS-200 & 300, Cascade Operator and Fire Officer 1. See the Courses page for details. Stay safe and keep training.

06.20.15 Troop 140 Eagle Scout Project
In May of this year, we were approached by the Boy Scouts of Troop 140. They were looking for a worth while project in order to achieve Eagle Scout status. After a meeting and tour of the academy, the Scouts were sure they had found the right place to put their skills to work. Over the course of three weekends, the Scouts and Troop advisers, volunteered their time to improving several areas on the academy grounds.

The Scouts installed a landscape feature at the flag poles, primed and painted the flashover chamber, painted the hydrants & laid a footing base of stone and finally, installed new pull up bars for physical fitness training.

The results of their effort was outstanding. On Saturday, Mayor Murray paid a visit to inspect their work and thank the Scouts on behalf of the Township. We'd like to thank the Troop for all of their hard work and their dedication to service. A special thank you to Jack Blarr, the Eagle Scout who engineered the entire project. We wish Jack and the rest of Troop 140 the best of luck in their future endeavors.

Mayor Stephanie Murray paid a visit to inspect the project and posed with Harrison Blarr.
