South Lebanon Fire Co #1

It’s that time of year!!!! The big guy in the red suit will again be taking to the streets of South Lebanon Township on Monday, December 14, 2020. We were hoping for a Friday or Saturday evening, but Santa has lots of commitments this year. Unfortunately, due to COVID Santa will have to stay in the fire truck and will not be available for pictures this year. We certainly hope that next year is much different, but we want to make sure he is feeling well and able to carr...y out his duties on Christmas Morning! We will be leaving the fire station on East Walnut St around 5:30pm and slowly cruising the Township streets and making some noise, so be certain to listen for the siren. We will try to wrap up by 8:30, so that the kiddos can get to bed at their regular times. When you hear the siren, keep your eyes peeled for us and come outside when you see us coming down your street! Please understand that fire service needs may alter these plans. Last year Santa took an unplanned ride to a structure fire dispatch and it prevented us from getting to many neighborhoods in the township.

Yesterday 10/24/2020 companies participated in a training burn at fire school. Crews performed everything we have been going over the past couple weeks and put ...them all together.
