Knox Volunteer Fire Company Inc.

MOVE OVER: A change to Pennsylvania’s Move Over law goes into effect 4/27/21. Scarier fines and points on your license could result if you fail to move over ...when approaching a fire truck, police car, tow truck, etc. on the road. Already in 2021, seventeen roadside responders have been killed across the country by passing vehicles (10 police officers, 5 tow truck drivers, 1 fire-police officer, and 1 highway responder.) a firefighter in Venango County, PA was struck and seriously injured while working the scene of a prior accident on I-80. So please, MOVE OVER. And if you cannot change lanes, or a lane is already closed, please slooooow down as you pass (20 mph under the posted speed limit). You just might save a life.

Prayers to the 55 crews and Station 3 crews. We have your back if you need anything. Prayers to all EMS agencies involved that had to witness this and deal with the response. As Emlenton stated this is something we NEVER want to hear or deal with. When you come upon an emergency scene please slow down and move over!!! We all have families we want to go home to.

Tonight the Knox Volunteer Fire Company had a Landing zone class. The members learned the safety of the landing zone and helicopter safety. Thank you to all the members that attended the class. Thank you Shippenville Fire Company sending couple guys over. A big thank you to Nico Soler from Life Flight for teaching the class. We all enjoyed and thank you for the flight crew and pilot from Life Flight 3 who came and showed us the helicopter and talked and explained to us some more.

Prayers going out to Clintonville Fire this morning. Please keep our brothers and sisters of our neighboring department in your prayers. Please be respectful do not ask questions at this time. Just say your prayers.
