Over 190 people attended, including volunteer members of the company, paid EMS staff, spouses and their guests. We were honored to have some of our friends from neighboring companies in attendance as well. For our centennial, we received special proclamations from Congressman Glenn Thompson, PA State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, and PA State Senator Jake Corman, and all three of our County Commissioners. We also heard some very nice words of thanks and appreciation from township representatives of Spring, Benner and Walker Townships. Our speaker tonight was PA Fire Commissioner Ed Mann whose message was to “remember our history” – very fitting for our 100th anniversary. As we look backwards, tonight, members received a book of photographs, stories and information about our fire company’s history. This book was the result of countless hours of work by Fire Company Member Gregg Heny and the financial support of several local business sponsors. We took a moment tonight honor Gary Royer, who has served as our fire chief for the past 20 years. We presented him with a commemorative plaque as a small token of our appreciation for his leadership and look forward to his continued involvement in our fire company. As we turned over the reigns to the new chief, Lou Brungard, we did so in typical Pleasant Gap style, by giving him a hard time tonight about his picture in yesterday’s Centre Daily Times. Thanks Commissioner Mann for helping us with that! Commissioner Mann also presented us with a proclamation from Governor Tom Corbett and our “Participating Department” certificate and decals. This year’s Ambulance Volunteer Award went to Marc Burns. The Ambulance Paid Staff Award went to Chris Hockenberry. The Fire Police award went to Gary Royer. The Community Award went to Swartz Fire and Safety. Gene Jacobs received his Life Member pin tonight. Rick Sherretz received the President’s Award. Tom Shade received a special “Teamwork” award for his service to the company and many years as our financial secretary and in many other capacities over they years. Special thanks to Alpha Fire Company, Undine Fire Company and Centre LifeLink EMS for staffing our station tonight.

But as families enjoy the benefits of the emergency power the generator supplies, they need to keep in mind the risks associated with improper use of the equipment. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the most common dangers involving generators are carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, electrical shock or electrocution, and fire hazards. CO deaths associated with generators have increased in recent years as generator sales have risen. Many homeowners are unaware that the improper use of a portable generator can be risky. Portable generator mishaps can be avoided if proper precautions are followed. The NFPA and Pleasant Gap Fire Company recommend some simple safety tips that residents can follow to avoid portable generator accidents. • Generators should be operated in well ventilated locations outdoors away from all doors, windows and vent openings. • The generator should be located so that exhaust fumes cannot enter the home through windows, doors or other building openings. • Battery-operated CO alarms or plug-in CO alarms with a battery back-up should be installed in the home, according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Should CO enter the home and pose a risk, an alarm will sound. • The generator must not be refueled while it is running. The generator should be turned off and allowed to cool down before refueling. • Fuel for the generator should never be stored in the home. Gasoline and other flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in properly labeled safety containers. They should be stored away from any fuel-burning appliance such as a gas hot water heater. • Appliances should be plugged directly into the generator or a heavy duty outdoor-rated extension cord. The cord should be checked for cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs, especially a grounding pin. The house wiring should not be powered by plugging the generator into a wall outlet. • If the generator must be connected to the house wiring to power appliances, a qualified electrician should install a properly rated transfer switch in accordance with the National Electrical Code® (NEC) and all applicable state and local electrical codes.
