 <![CDATA[After finishing up from Monday night drill, an EMS call for a women
 in labor&nbsp;came in. Squad 62 was at Station 62-B at the time and a block 
away from the call. With it's crew of 6, EMT's and a First Responder on 
board, responded. QRS 62 also responded from Station 62-A with 2 more 
members. Every member&nbsp;of the crews filled a role. The crews made the 
mother comfortable and were prepared to deliver. The ambulance from 345 
arrived and the mother was transferred from the car to the back of the 
ambulance were she delivered the baby on scene. We are very proud of the
 crews from Squad 62, QRS 62 and the 345 and 351 units, as well as PD at the 
scene. 
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Being well trained and working together made a difference 
tonight and helped bring another life into the world. Thank you to the 
crews from tonight.

 <![CDATA[It's 4:00 am on Friday, do you know where your firefighters are? A few of the North Penn firefighters and contributing members have woken up early today, as they do once a month, to make hoagies. At 4:00 am they get to work preparing pre orders for pick up by 6:00 am. Not on the pre order list and yet still want a North Penn hoagie? Don't worry, they do it all over again tomorrow, just not so early. If you would like a hoagie, or 2.... or dozen, come out to North Penn Volunteer Fire Company on Main Street, North Wales after 7:30 am. Saturday is a no&nbsp;pre order day, so&nbsp;walk ins are welcome.&nbsp;There are Italian hoagies, Tuna, and every month there is a special (could be turkey, ham or roast beef). Hoagies are $4.00. We look forward to seeing you Saturday morning....]]>

 <![CDATA[If you are sitting at home in front of the TV on a Monday night, trying to think of something to do, we have done the thinking for you. Head down to North Penn Volunteer Fire Company on Main Street in North Wales around 7pm. The members of North Penn have drill every Monday night&nbsp;at 7. Come down to meet the members, find out what they do for the community, and if you are interested, find out how you can become a member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you came out this past Drill, you would have seen two trainings going on. You could have seen Lt. Mark Donohue teaching how to use low pressure air bags as well as ropes. Two very important groups of rescue equipment&nbsp;that we carry on Squad 62 and Ladder 62. At the same time you could have seen Capt. Matthew Traynor teaching how to use hydraulic rescue tools. Another group of rescue equipment that we carry on Squad 62 and Air 62.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So if you are trying to find something to do on a Monday night, head down to Station 62 to see more drills and find out how you can be a part of the membership if you are interested....]]>
