With the first Snow Storm of the year coming tomorrow we want to remind everyone to shovel out those hydrants! If it’s your property, your neighbors or just one you’re passing by. Help us help you, every second counts!

On Thursday December 24, 2020 Santa and WPFC will be making their way around the 7/77s local. This year in light of the pandemic the fire company has decided to change the format of our usual day and night run. We will now be escorting Santa around at night only. We will continue to drive through our entire local in Middletown Township and Hulmeville Borough starting at 4pm. We will not be stopping at all during the run; this includes current and past member’s houses. We... will not be collecting canned goods or food donations. As much as Santa and his elves love and appreciate the treats and donations we receive, we are unable to accept any items this year. Station 7 will begin escorting Santa through Middletown Trace at 4pm and Station 77 will be starting in Quincy Hollow. Below is the route our Santa’s will be taking! Please keep in mind, the fire company will still remain in service and be responding to calls during this time, we will do our best to make sure we hit every street in our locals. Keep your eyes and ears open for the lights, sirens and excitement!

Don’t forget it’s daylight savings! Turn those clocks back. Have a happy and safe Halloween!

We will NEVER forgot the innocent loved ones who lost their lives 19 years ago today. And the hero’s who walked the grounds in efforts to save them. Always remember 9-11-01

Last night members took the time to review drafting. We don’t use it much but it’s always good to have a refresher. Thank You to Adventureland Day Camp for letting us draft from your pond.

Officers and members of WPFC would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to the Falls Township Police Department, friends and family of the officer who was critically injured in a roll-over crash last night.

The storm has knocked down multiple trees in the area, flooded many roadways and left many residents without power. If you don’t need to go out please stay home and stay safe. Help us keep you safe.

Know the signs, beat the heat! Another heat wave is on its way. Be sure to stay hydrated, stay cool and stay safe. Check on your family and friends. If you’re outside wear sunscreen! Enjoy the weather but be safe.

***Although Pennsylvania law now allows residents to purchase consumer-grade fireworks, there are VERY STRICT REQUIREMENTS for their use in Pennsylvania and Middletown Township. PLEASE READ!*** Any confusion or questions contact the Middletown Township Fire Marshals Office.

Just before 1230 today both stations were dispatched to the 2300 block of Durham Rd in Middletown Township for a reported automobile fire. Deputy 7 arrived on scene to find an SUV with fire in the engine compartment. Engine 77-1 arrived on scene and pulled a hand line. Engine 7 assisted with popping the hood. Crews went available shortly after

Congratulations to our Graduatinng Seniors Tyler Horvath and Cody Hewins. Both are 2020 graduates of BCTHS!! Very proud of both of you!!

Officers and Members of WPFC send our thoughts and prayers to the family, friends and coworkers of Bucks County Park Ranger 8307 Tom Booz. May he Rest In Peace.

A Memorial Day not like any others...no picnics, parties or parades. But that’s okay, today is still the day we Thank, Praise and Remember all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us to have our freedom and a life to live. Thank you to all who have served, are currently serving and planning to serve.

This past weekend WPFC had ServPro come out to professionally clean and decon our entire station and apparatus. Members have been doing their part in maintaining and deconning after each call. Station 7 will be done this week. Thanks to ServPro and our members for helping keep our stations/apparatus clean and safe for us!

To all of the members in our community: While we understand this quarantine is a trying time and many people are missing out on birthdays, graduations, weddings, baby showers, family etc. We would like to remind everyone we will not be participating in ANY drive-bys for special events during this. We are trying to keep our members, their families and our community safe by following social distancing. Please remember we are a volunteer company, with many of o...ur members still working their full time jobs as well. As always we will be there in case of an emergency and respond without hesitation to help those in need. As soon as all this clears up,community members are more than welcome to come visit the stations with their kids. Until then we will not be allowing any visitors to either station and we will continue practicing social distancing. See more

We have received numerous emails asking/requesting a drive by with the Easter Bunny on the engines. Unfortunately we will not be participating in this. We understand everyone is upset and tired of being cooped inside. However, we are following the Governors Stay at Home order and limiting our interactions during this time. We are trying to keep our members as well as their families and our community safe during this time. As always we will continue to respond to all 911 calls and protect the community. We will be there in your time of need. You may see our crews entering your business or residence with full PPE (masks/gloves/goggles),or asking you to step outside to meet with us, this is for your safety and ours.
