Early St. Patrick’s Day gift for MTFR! On Thursday March 14 MTFR staff spent the day placing into service 57 new MSA G1 SCBA units. This large purchase was only made possible through the generous support of the MTFR Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association, who funded the entire purchase of the new SCBA.

The MTFR career and volunteer staff spent the day removing all the old SCBA, replacing brackets in the apparatus, and placing the new SCBA unit’s in-service. This included all riding positions in all apparatus, new RIT packs for all front-line apparatus, personal facepieces, and related items such as fill station adaptors, etc.

All MTFR staff, career and volunteer, were required to complete several steps to become qualified on the new SCBA. Over the past several months all members completed orientation, fit testing, hands-on training, and a confidence maze (loaned to us by our neighbors at Lancaster City Bureau of Fire) in order to be qualified on the new units.

Thank you again to the MTFR Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association for making this purchase/project possible. We appreciate your continued support so we can continue to serve our mission. ... See MoreSee Less
