❄️ A quick safety reminder for our community ❄️

Yesterday’s storm dropped around 12 inches of snow, and while many of us are still digging out, we are asking everyone to take a moment to help keep our neighborhood safe.

If you have a fire hydrant near your home, please clear the snow at least 3 feet around it and make sure it’s visible from the street. In an emergency, every second counts, and a buried hydrant can slow down firefighters when they need access the most.

Your help makes a real difference for the whole community.

Thank you for pitching in and staying safe out there.

🚚✨ Trucks for Tots was started by Avonworth ESP Union officers in loving memory of Nolan. What began as a local effort has blossomed across the Avonworth School District and our community.

We’re honored to stand alongside them and support the Toys for Tots drive, helping spread joy this holiday season.

So when you see a truck, let it remind you to share a smile—for Nolan, and for the children whose holidays shine brighter thanks to your generosity. 🎁❤️

We are proud to announce that we have been awarded $340,276 in state funding from the Pennsylvania Office of the State Fire Commissioner to support the purchase of our 2025 Rosenbauer Custom Pumper/Tanker.

This vital investment would not have been possible without the support and advocacy of Senator Devlin Robinson and Rep. Arvind Venkat. Their commitment to public safety and to ensuring volunteer fire companies like ours have the tools we need to protect our communities is deeply appreciated.
