Lots of updates have been occuring in Mt. Lego the past few months. During the borough meeting this evening, the attention was brought to Chief Crowder about airport expansions expected within the next few months to a year. Still in the planning stages, the airport is planning on building a larger terminal on the grounds, or expanding to their current terminal. There is also talk of having an Air Force Wing added to the airport. With these being brought up, it was brought to attention that Fire Department coverage for the airport would need to be updated. The Fire Department is working for a grant to order two new Oshkosh Striker 3000 crash trucks, along with other smaller units such as a brush truck, a foam engine, and a ladder truck. These plans might not go through, but the Fire Department is ready to add on if needed.

It's been a stressful beginning of the month for the crews in Legogheny County. County has decided to switch over to a new numbering system. Mt. Lego is now Station 46, instead of Station 232. Any apparatus calling on the air must add an 8 in front of the unit number. Ex: Engine 4 responding would be "Engine 8464"
