Multiple Vehicle Collision on I81

Squad 33, staffed with four personnel, and Traffic 33 responded to Interstate 81 southbound at mile marker 51.2 for a multi-vehicle accident involving a trapped individual. Chief 7 arrived on scene to find vehicles and debris spread across the roadway. Squad 33 worked alongside Chief 7 to address one of the involved vehicles where a person was confined. Engine 41 and Rescue 45 assisted with the second vehicle, where one person was confined and injured.

Due to the severity and spread of the incident, a traffic task force was requested to close I81 South at Exit 52. Crews remained on scene for over an hour, and fire police managed traffic for almost two hours. Engine 33 stayed staffed with two personnel during the incident. Multiple agencies and EMS teams provided coordinated support and professional management throughout the response.

Wreaths Across America!

Once again, this year, the New Kingstown Fire Company (NKFC) will be holding a campaign in support of Wreaths Across America (WAA). Our mission remains to honor and remember our deceased Veterans interred at the Indiantown Gap National Cemetery (IGNC) this Christmastime by supporting the overall nationwide mission of WAA!
By using the link or the QR code on the photo, you can sponsor wreaths to be laid at IGNC and $5 from each wreath sponsored will be donated back to the NKFC.

There are options for you to honor or remember a specific Veteran and / or request that your wreath be placed on a specific grave by yourself or a Volunteer. *Please note, if you are sponsoring a grave specific wreath and you want to place it yourself, select "I will place myself". **NOTE: Self-placements are only available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday December 15, 16, 17 between 9:00AM to 4:00PM to provide you with a quiet moment for reflection. Self-placements will not be available on Friday December 18 or on Saturday December 19 which is the ceremony and general placement cemetery wide. If you wish to have a Volunteer place the wreath, members of the Fire Company will be placing grave specific wreaths on one of the three aforementioned dates.
There are also wreaths for your home and other items that are available in the WAA shop.

Please join us by supporting this very worthwhile cause.
Any questions can be emailed to [email protected].
THANK YOU for your support!

Fire Police Assist at Trick or Treat!

On Saturday evening, Fire Police officers implemented traffic calming measures in the Village of New Kingstown to ensure the safety of trick-or-treaters. Cones, lights, and signage were placed along Locust Point Road to guide both drivers and pedestrians. Traffic 33 and its light tower were positioned at the west end of New Kingstown to enhance visibility. Utility 233 served as a support vehicle, helping to maintain the placement of traffic controls throughout the event.

This annual effort is part of a longstanding tradition to keep both children and adults safe during trick-or-treat night. The ongoing commitment and service of the Fire Police are vital to the well-being of the community.

September Township Report

Our apologies for not posting this sooner as we've had it for a couple weeks. Please see the attachment for our activity report for September. As call volume continues on pace for over 1100 incidents for 2026 the length of time committed and sheer severity of incidents does not change. It takes dedication and commitment from our members and paid staff on a daily basis and we cannot be more thankful for what continues to be placed into our organization!

Snow Tober!!

15 years ago, this what it looked like - multiple calls for service - one of those being a crash with entrapment on Trindle Rd (corn still standing) and a response onto the Turnpike. Doubtful anyone could really see the warning lights due to the snow sticking. Local companies had responded the previous evening to a working fire on Locust Point Rd and it began snowing as we were clearing that incident.
