From October through December of 2007, Kimball & Associates conducted a thorough review of the County’s existing voice and data systems, including the 800 MHz trunked radio system owned jointly by the Pennsylvania State University and the Borough of State College. A strategic radio plan was submitted to the Centre County Commissioners and presented to the public on April 18, 2008. The 141-page report includes the major findings and recommendations of the future communications system for Centre County. The report includes details on existing coverage inadequacies, lack of interoperability with surrounding counties and other agencies, additions of desired features such as digital quality audio, location tracking and mapping, mobile data, over-the-air encryption re-keying, over-the-air subscriber reprogramming, and effective voice encryption.

I know I tried this last year and had no success. But would anybody be interested in starting a CCF fantasy baseball league this year? I would be so if anyone else would want to lets get one together.

it seems that people don't respect or know the true power of a flood or water period. #1 who is stupid enough to go canoeing at 1am in the little juniata when it was at 13'.6" crest with out life jackets and 1 kid can't swim.....well this morning myself and asst. chief 3002 of geeseytown blair co. pulled 2 18 yr old idgits from a tree in the middle of the river....they got hypothermia and a free set of  chrome bracelets to go with it.

I would like some input on what your company does for vehicle stabilization, as it is different from station to station.

When you arrive on-scene, is that the priority when patients need extricated?

This mainly pertains to MVA's where the vehicle is still on all four tires. Obviously you are going to stabilize if it is on its side or any other unstable surface.

Any upcoming Hazmat Ops classes in Western Clearfield County or Jefferson County?
