Welcome to the Progress Fire Company
Last evening Progress Fire played a softball game against Susquehanna Township Police to benefit the STPD K9 Program. The game included lots of laughs and a few jokes during the night and the police took the win 7-5 in a good game. As advertised, the Captain of the loosing time had to get into the “bite suit” for a K9 demonstration. Captain Wolford suited up and took 2 bites from the K9.
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the STPD K9 program. We are already looking forward to a rematch in the fall.
Thanks to Big Daddy BBQ for coming down and providing food and Dustin Weese for the photos.

Hes become an essential part of the operation and takes thousands of photos to document and capture as many moments of LIA as possible. And hes not afraid to put his camera to the side and get his hands dirty when the kids need a little help. Thanks for all you do Dustin

Slow down
The Truck Company featured recently on the cover of this publication. The Central PA area is fortunate to have photographers interested in coming out to incidents in all weather and time of day to capture images.
Capital City Fire Photos is one of those photographers and has been around the Harrisburg Metro area since the early 2000’s. Coleman-Cobb as he’s know by to many has a website with all of the incidents he has photographed.
As always, if you are interested in becoming a live-in, we would like to hear from you as there are opportunities available, email liveinrequest@progressfire.com.Progress Truck 32 featured on the July 2022 cover of Fire Apparatus & Emergency Equipment magazine.

Gorgeous Aerialscope 😍🚒🔥
Engine 32-1 was dispatched this evening to assist the Police Department with a dog trapped in a recliner of a couch. The crew along with the Police Department were able to free “Stormy” quickly and get the pup back into its owners arm and on the way to a local vet hospital.
Prayers for Stormy!
I can see how "Stormy" got jammed up in a recliner. Not much to that storm.
Oh my! Bless you all. Hopefully Stormy will be okay?
Oh no hope Stormy is OK.
Praying for that sweet baby. 🙏💕
