As we turn our clocks back this weekend, our evenings will get darker much earlier. That means students (as well as anyone else) riding e-scooters and e-bikes need to take extra precautions!

Our biggest safety tip? Whenever possible, avoid riding after dark. Plan ahead, ride during daylight, and arrange another way home if your trip will take place after sunset.

If you absolutely must ride in the dark:
🦺 Wear bright or reflective clothing.
💡 Use working front and rear lights.
🪖 Wear a properly fitted helmet.
📵 Put your phone away and stay alert.
🚗 Remember that drivers may have a harder time seeing you.

A quick trip home isn't worth risking your safety. When the sun goes down, consider leaving your scooter or e-bike parked. Let's keep everyone safe this season!

🚒 TRAINING TOGETHER. RESPONDING TOGETHER. SAVING LIVES. 🚒

Members of the Orange Township Fire Department recently participated in a trench rescue refresher training hosted by the Porter Kingston Fire Department, alongside firefighters from multiple Delaware County fire departments.

Trench rescues are complex and extremely dangerous incidents that require specialized training, proper equipment, and seamless coordination between responding agencies. This hands-on refresher gave firefighters the opportunity to practice critical skills, reinforce safety procedures, and strengthen the teamwork necessary to operate in these challenging environments.

We are grateful to the Porter Kingston Fire Department for hosting this valuable training and to all the participating Delaware County fire departments for their continued commitment to preparedness, professional development, and the safety of our communities.

When seconds count, preparation matters. Training together helps ensure we’re ready to work together when our communities need us most. 💪🚒
