AGE TWO THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1967 AERIAL LADDER TRUCK PLACED INFIREHOUSE The Gettysburg Fire Department's aerial ladder truck has been placed in the fire engine house, according to an agreement among the three fire chiefs and Mayor William G. Weaver. The truck had ben originally housed et Hetrick's Garage, York St. One of the fire company's ambulances was moved to Hetrick's garage to make added room for the nearly 50-foot aerial apparatus. Mayor Weaver said the aerial truck was relocated because of its during a recent rash of large fires and because of the time required to remove it from Hetrick's Garage where it was housed in narrow quarters.

The mayor added that the truck can also be maintained better at the 'firehouse. AMBULANCE MOVED In order to make room for the huge fire apparatus, one of the two fire company ambulances lo- of- TTTOO VCttdJ. Ctt -moved to Hetrick's Garage. The mayor stated. "This will in no way hamper the efficient operation of the ambulance crews because one ambulance will always be in sendee at the enginehouse and the other ambulance located at the garage is fully prepared for an emergency and has just as quick an access to the major roads from its York St.

location." The mayor added that in case the ambulance at the enginehouse is out on call the ambulance crew will be informed by the Adams County Quick Cal! operator to go directly to Hetrick's Garage to embark on its ambulance call. All the fire company's apparatus is now located at the engine- house ready to roll for any firej emergency.
