Franklin Twp Volunteer Fire Dept, Ellwood City PA

Congratulations to Riverside class of 2026! Be safe and good luck as you all begin your next chapter in life.

Just a heads-up that starting tomorrow, the Paul Miller Law goes into effect, banning the use of hand-held phones while driving. If you’re caught with a phone in your hand, you could face a $50 fine plus additional costs. The goal is to keep all drivers safe by reducing distractions on the road. Drive safely and remember: “Arrive Alive.”

Memorial Day. A day to remember our fallen service members. Those who gave their lives in service of our nation. Take time today to pay tribute to those that cannot be here today.

To all the moms out there in the service or not Happy Mother's Day!

Delayed post.
On 3/7/2026 your volunteers gathered with North Sewickley VFD to have a night of celebration and fellowship. We are proud to celebrate our members who have gone above and beyond in 2025.
