Maintenance Day 2021

If you are a follower of our Company, you will know that every February we have our annual maintenance day where we service all of our apparatus. This year was no different.

Members started at 7 am with breakfast made and served by our Special Division. During the course of the next 7 hours, the 40+ volunteers completed the following:

Oil changes on several rigs. We now test our oil yearly and if it is ok, we don't change it.
Oil and fuel filters on all apparatus and generators
Fluid changes as needed
New windshield wiper blades
Changed rear gear oil
Portable equipment maintenance (saws etc.)
Hand tool maintenance
Interiors cleaned on all rigs
All rigs washed

This in-station maintenance keeps our rigs in top condition and helps us to locate small problems before they become big, expensive issues. Doing all this ourselves also saves us quite a bit of money, and it is a great time for all of our members to work together.

Thanks to the Special Division members who took care of making breakfast and lunch, and to the various businesses that donated products to help us complete these tasks. Thanks especially to all of our volunteers that gave the majority of their Saturday to the Company.

Once you are done shoveling, scraping and removing snow and ice, take a minute to go to our website at www.qfd57.com, click on the DONATE button and buy yourself some Spring Gun Raffle Tickets. We will fill them out and mail you the stubs. In the last week since we started offering this, we have sold over 150 tickets online. This is a big boost and a great way to get tickets if you live out of the area.

And, we are planning on having our in-person Ham Shoot on Saturday March 13th. The full article will be posted when we have the advertising material, but mark your calendar. This will be the first event since Fall 2019.

We just need to clarify some comments that were put on some other social media sites earlier today about this accident.

It was very icy in the area, but the ice was not caused by Quarryville Fire Company. The water was coming from an adjacent property and entered State Street via the shared driveway at the firehouse. The water was not from QFD property.

We did host training on Tuesday night, however, it was classroom CPR training, and no water was "sprayed around" creating any ice. We also wash our vehicles inside the bays during winter, and our drains enter the public wastewater system (and no rigs were washed this week yet). We would sincerely hope that people would know that we are in the business of protecting our community, not putting anyone in danger by creating icy conditions. Most of our members have been on tragic incidents that were caused by icy roadways.

It is unfortunate that we have to put up disclaimers such as this, but we just want our friends and followers to know that we would not, and will not, place anyone in our community in harms way.

If you need any further clarification, please feel free to let us know. And, we thank all of those that continue to support our Company and defend us in every way. Thank You!!

What goods a story without a little drama sorry it fell on hero’s such as yourselves

Really? Someone blamed the fire department? So sorry for that.

good grief, are people gonna blame the fire company when it rains n that road floods too?

People just gotta run their mouths(text fingers) even if they have no basis

When I drove by there today, I actually looked and saw that the water had NOT come from the fire department. It's too bad people set the blame before knowing the truth.

Unfortunately I was discussing this this morning. I will apologize to all the fine volunteers at QFD. I was only discussing, because I was not sure how it was handled but I do know there is always alot of water running in front of my house and the creek is always polluted with diesel fuel. So again I apologize. I did not however post anything anywhere else.

It is in fact a huge shame that you guys have to put out there disclaimers to educate people that this was caused by their hometown fire department. The amount of alarms you guys cover and training alone let alone everything else that goes on, the last thing you guys should have to do is do this very thing. I have followed your department for many years in excess of 15+ years and I have huge respect for all departments in that area. God bless you all, keep on keeping on brothers/sisters. We are in the world if everybody needing to “blame” someone except themselves.

Bunch of Monday morning quarterbacks just know what happened and weren't even there. Shameful.

This is by NO means a result of the fire company. We live right beside the fire company and they never cause water to run onto the roadway. No one should be blaming the fire hall for the water/ice.

That road has been like that for years. Just like 472 coming into Kirkwood. Always flooded. PennDot needs to look at accident reports and fix these problematic areas.

You should NOT have to defend yourself !!! You guys do a AWESOME job for our community ! THANK YOU ❤️

I am from your immediate area. I enjoy following your department. You folks do great work.

My husband came through there before 5am and the road was a sheet of ice. Mind you he is a crane operator driving from Brownstown to Delaware every morning in a company truck.

Also to rant on about this is that I belonged to a Fire Company and our first prodacall was to get PennDot on the scene asap for them to Salt the roads regardless how long we had to stay there until travel was safe. SMH

Be grateful for things you have, and be grateful for being alive today, and take time to thank GOD. This is why America is so twisted anymore or offended because people don't get the facts before they speak or try to push blame on someone else for either money, or fame. It's sad this world is going in the shitter fast.....

Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for everything you do for the community. Don't live in the area anymore but never had a doubt that your priority is always safety first. Angers me that people would say what they said. Stay safe out there today thinking you may be busy with this storm. I know Quarryville is in good hands with all of you that VOLUNTEER your time there.

Anyone who drives that street on a daily basis knows that when it rains the water is 2” deep on a normal day through there. Let alone with ice and snow melting. Bunch of jack wagons.....

#TheHardestPrisonToEscapeIsInYourMind

Thank You for all of your service to the community and remember everyone this is a all volunteer company and some day you might need their services.

Thank you for all you do. It is a sin that people have nothing better to do than point fingers.

I'm sorry you guys have to deal with people putting out negativity, there's always gonna be some miserable people who love to point blame...the type that would be saying completely different stories if they needed you many just feed of drama cause it's not happening to them

People will run their mouths. I for one appreciate all that Fire Department does . I mean even on a volunteer basis. Snow melts and then refreezes basic knowledge right?

Guess people didn't see the rain and snow melt the last couple days and see state st was soaked last night. Luckily it got as dry as it dId before freezing.
