Taking A Step Toward A Safer Future By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“Polished concrete floors are great for warehouses, but this isn’t a warehouse,” New Danville Fire Company treasurer Michael Kuntz commented as he looked across the engine bay of the fire station, 43 Marticville Road, Lancaster. As the name implies, polished concrete is slick, especially when wet. Kuntz noted that when firefighters dashed into the building in response to fire calls, they were at risk of falls if the floor was wet from rain or washing the apparatus. Thankfully, although there had been a number of slips in the engine bay, no one had been seriously hurt. To prevent any possible injury, however, the fire department recently installed a nonskid floor. “We wanted to be proactive and get
something safer,” Kuntz remarked. The oil-resistant epoxy floor and cove edging is highly durable and is guaranteed for 10 years. During the application process, all of the stress cracks in the 4,000-square-foot floor were repaired. The new surface was also installed in the restrooms and on the staircase that rises to the upstairs reception room. The process began on Aug. 6, and the engine bay was in use again on Aug. 11. Kuntz noted that the Southern Regional Police Department kept an eye on the fire apparatus while it was parked outside during the week. The project cost $27,000, most of which was generated through a support letter sent to the residents of Pequea Township, the west side of which the New Danville Fire Company serves as its first due. “Our community is very supportive See Fire Company pg 2
Printers Fair Will Attempt To Set A World Record
The New Danville Fire Company engine bay now sports a brightly colored nonskid surface that was paid for by donations from Pequea Township residents. The new floor is part of a series of projects that includes fresh paint, new gear racks, and a change to LED lighting.

Strasburg residents Al and Patti Means have been working with bloodhounds since 1988, when they picked up their first man-trailing hound. “That 40-pound dog had two people to train,” Al recalled. “There was no one around here who was doing search and rescue. He taught us a lot.” Al and Patti launched Red Rose K-9 Search and Rescue in 1989 and have provided their services free of charge to
