The members of the Apalachin Lions Club and Foundation teamed up with the Apalachin Fire Department (AFD) to purchase a Forced Entry Simulator, which will be used to train local firefighters in opening residential and commercial entry doors during emergency situations. According to the department, the simulator will increase efficiency and, with practice, undoubtedly save lives and property.
The Apalachin Lions Foundation assisted in the purchase of the simulator with a significant donation to the Apalachin Fire Department. Both parties look forward to the new forced entry simulator becoming a significant contributor to firefighter training.
