Downingtown Fire Department was requested by the Chester County Fire Task Force to participate in a standby to support the Philadelphia Fire Dept. while Pope Francis visited the city. Engine 46-2 was assigned to the Philadelphia Int'l Airport training facility along with the Good Will and Fame Fire Companies of West Chester.

Crews reviewed and performed training on mass decontamination during the day. We would like to thank the staff at the PHL Fire Training Facility for their hospitality.
