The Susquehanna Fire Department would like to congratulate Joe Adornato, Dave Passetti, Pat Frederick, Gene Perry, Kevin Kelly and Damion Scales on achieving thier Water Rescue Technician Level. After another year of training these members have achieved the highest level attainable in the PAFBC Water Rescue program.

Since August of 2007 the Susquehanna Fire Department, Great Bend Fire Department, Hallstead Fire Department and one member from the Forest Lake Fire Department have been training hard to create or improve thier water rescue teams.


Residence of the areas that these departments serve can be very proud.
Thank you and congratulations to all who have given up thier weekends to take this training.
Stay safe!
