Hazardous Materials Incident-For immediate release

Just prior to 5pm on 19 October 2026, Fallowfield Fire & Rescue on duty crews received a call on station for a large fuel oil spill in the basement of a home on Main Street in Hartstown. Engine 45-1, Engine 45-2, Squad 45-4, Ambulance 45-6 responded. On arrival, crews located approximately 100 gallons of heating fuel that had spilled from a basement fuel tank in the home earlier in the day. Crews determined that the majority of the fuel oil had drained into the wetlands and swamp behind the home through a submersible pump in the basement. Crews operated on scene for approximately 5 hours containing the spill and decontaminating the wetlands behind the residence. There is no threat to the public as a result of this spill.

Crews were assisted on scene by:
Hempfield Township Fire Department
Jamestown Fire Department
Lakeland Emergency Management
PA Department of Enviromental Protection
PA Fish and Boat Commission
Crawford County Emergency Management

Thank you to our crews and neighboring departments for their quick response in mitigating this spill. Although this hazardous materials situation was quickly handled, spills of this nature can have a significant impact on the environment, especially considering the close proximity of this spill to the swamp and Crystal Lake.

Fallowfield Fire & Rescue expresses our sincerest condolences to the family of Bryce Kaufmann and the members of F.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder company.

It is with profound sadness that A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. announces the passing of our Junior Firefighter, Bryce Kaufmann

Bryce was a junior at Girard High School and a deeply valued member of our fire department family. He will forever be remembered for his ability to make everyone smile. His entire face—and truly his whole being—would light up whenever he heard the words, “GEAR UP!”

Bryce took great pride in being a Junior Firefighter, especially when it came to his bunker gear. Even with a broken zipper, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with any suggestion that it should be replaced. That gear was his, and he was not ready to part with it.

Along with his profound passion for learning firefighting skills, Bryce will also be remembered for his unforgettable love of root b**r, peanuts, and milkshakes. These special little things were simply part of what made Bryce uniquely Bryce.

Bryce’s enthusiasm, humor, dedication, and bright spirit touched everyone around him. His time with us was far too short, but the impact he made will remain within our department forever.

Our deepest condolences go out to Bryce’s family, friends, classmates, fellow Junior Firefighters, and everyone whose life was made brighter by knowing him.

Rest easy, Bryce. You will always be part of the A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. family, and whenever we hear “GEAR UP,” we will think of you.

Rest Easy we will take it from here

Free Measles Vaccine Clinic Today 8/26 until 5pm
9328 Atlantic Road, Atlantic

As measles emerges in our community, Fallowfield Fire & Rescue has partnered with the Pennsylvania Department of Health to provide a free vaccine clinic to our community.

There have been 393 total confirmed cases of measles reported in the state this year, with 86 new cases in the past week. 70 have been hospitalized with 2 deaths, and it is suspected that far more cases are present in the community as not everyone that has symptoms has been tested. Measles is highly infectious, and spreads through the air.

Both deaths have been in unvaccinated individuals. The MMR Vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective.

Stop by today and get vaccinated.

Those who have been previously vaccinated can still receive the vaccine.
