Information from LGH Blood Donor Center:
Donating is Safe: Donors are screened for possible exposure to COVID-19 via travel or contacts immediately upon entering a donor area and social distancing is observed. See more details in the above link.
Our Process: Donors will park their vehicle upon arrival and go to the donation tent. Our staff will provide donors with a number, pen and donor questionnaire to fill out. Donors will complete the questionnaire and wait in their car until their number is called. When called, donors will bring the completed questionnaire along with identification to the tent and complete registration.
Be Prepared: Donors should have eaten a full meal within four hours of arriving. Be free of cold, flu, and allergy symptoms for three days prior to donating. Be well hydrated the day before and the day of the donation
Please Note: If you have traveled within the last two weeks, come in contact with anyone with COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms, or have a fever, please do not come to donate at this time.
To ensure a limited number of donors in the tent at the same time, donors should sign up online for a time slot. www.lancastergeneralhealth.org/services-and-treatments/blood-donor-center/community-blood-drive-s...

Today, Engine 39-3 traveled to Mechanicsburg Cumberland Co. to provide coverage to their area, along with an Engine from Wiconisco Dauphin Co.
The crew spent the day there so the membership from Mechanicsburg could pay their respects and attend the services for FF Jerome Guise that died in the Line of Duty operating at a house fire where a female also perished.

Training never ends! Over 20 members from GSFR are among the roughly 50 firefighters in attendance for Structural Collapse Awareness this evening at our Headquarters station.
Weekly Drill:
This week, the stations each did their own trainings. This is done on the opposite weeks of full dept training, to allow station officers to focus on more specific topics and smaller groups at the stations they are assigned to.
Station 1 trained with crews from New Holland Ambulance on patient packaging and immobilization.
Station 2 traveled to several businesses in the area to review their suppression systems, FDC and Standpipe systems.
Station 3 members spent the evening pulling handlines including crosslays, bumper lines and the 400’.
