Most NP Fire Departments had a busy few days. Station 15 responded to dispatches for "Smell of Wires Burning", "Brush Fire", "Barn Fire" and "Vehicle Crash". You just never know what will be next...which is why we conduct a varied training program. Reach out to us if volunteering is something you would like to experience!

When you shoveled the snow, did you think to check any exterior vents that might be covered? Carbon Monoxide is the silent killer.

Although we would like everyone to stay home and stay safe during the storm, we know that’s not always possible. Download the PennDOT app to help plan your travels safely!! Check road conditions and plow locations before you go out! Stay safe out there!!!

Here comes Santa Claus!!!!

Stations 7 and 15 were dispatched to the Interstate for this accident earlier...be safe out there! (Happy to report there were very minor injuries...one very lucky driver.)

Did you check for this when you changed your batteries?
