CANGES MADE TO THE ENGINE COMPANY
 Sunday, September 10, 2006
 
Despite an unusually slow weekend in the Township, the members of Station 74 kept busy
this weekend. On Sunday, the day tour took the Tower over to the Westbrook Park Elementary
 school to hang a new halyard line on the flag pole for the Upper Darby School District. After the
 Tower returned to the station, they had a quick breakfast and then got to work on remounting
tools on Engine 74-1. Capt. Fiorito and Lt. Bera headed up the project which included taking out
all tools and mounting brackets in the last two compartments on the officers side of the Engine
 (compartments 7 & 8). The crew then attached numerous mounting brackets to a board of plywood,
 mounted the board in the compartment, and then placed all of the hand tools into their correct bracket
 in compartment 8. They then mounted the combination rescue tool, as well as the hydraulic power
plant and various types of cribbing, in compartment 7. This is the first step in a process to reconfigure
the Engine so that the tools are strategically placed and so we can place more equipment that we
need on the truck. Capt. Fiorito and Lt. Bera would like to Thank FF’s J. Calamia and M. Griglione for
 helping with the equipment remounting project, and FF’s B. Lynch and D. Condo for helping with the
 flag pole at the elementary school.

At 2:00 PM the tower Ladder headed down to the Penn Pines Park for the Marine Corps. Annual
Family Picnic, the picnic is a yearly event held by the Upper Darby detachment of the Marine
Corps. While at the picnic, the members gave tours of the tower to the young children that were

 companies in the township and handed out fire prevention material to the many shoppers on
 69th Street shopping for back to school supplies. The members would like to thank the Shops
