On the May 18th Primary ballot in Pennsylvania, there will be a question asking voters to authorize making municipal fire departments or companies with paid personnel and emergency medical services companies eligible to apply for loans from an already existing state loan program. This fund currently sits at $47 million dollars and by voting yes only adds approximately 30 additional fire departments eligible to apply for the loan. Please support this and VOTE YES.

4/10/21 - 1127 hrs B Shift Co. 1 units were alerted to Wilson College for an Automatic Fire Alarm in a dormitory. Units arrived on the scene with normal conditions but found light smoke in the basement kitchen area, due to culinary ignorance. Tower 1 handled ventilation while Engine 1-1 and Ambulance 1-8 took care of the alarm reset. Units cleared after a few minutes.

FF Scott McNew, FF Bryan Shatzer, Chief Ulrich, and Cyle Sheaffer spent the last few days at the Pierce manufacturing finalizing plans for the new Engine 1-2. Members spent the time going over the fine details and were also welcomed with a personal tour of the facility which showed the quality and personal dedication that those at Pierce are known for. Keep watching...Finalized drawings are yet to come

Congratulations to all selected and an even bigger congratulations to PPFFA President JT Pennington
