A VICTORY FOR PENNSYLVANIA FIRE FIGHTERS!

Governor Josh Shapiro has signed SB 804 into law, marking an important victory for the health and safety of Pennsylvania's fire fighters!

This new law takes meaningful steps to reduce exposure to dangerous PFAS chemicals in firefighting foam and provides greater transparency about the chemicals in our protective gear.

The Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association thanks Governor Shapiro and the members of the House and Senate who supported this legislation, especially Senators Gene Yaw and Nick Miller and Representatives Brian Munroe and Jared Solomon. We are especially grateful to our members, union brothers and sisters, and advocacy partners who worked tirelessly to make this victory possible.

Our gear should protect us, not put our health at risk. Today, Pennsylvania has taken an important step toward making that a reality.

🚒 House Fire Response

At 8:44 AM, Station 38 and mutual aid companies were dispatched to the 2700 block of Fynamore Lane for a reported house fire.

Crews arrived on scene with nothing showing from the exterior. Upon further investigation, the incident was isolated to the home’s HVAC system, and the response was scaled back accordingly.

🔥 Winter Heating Safety Reminder

As colder weather approaches and we enter the winter heating season, remember to have your furnace and heating systems inspected and serviced by a qualified professional.

Routine maintenance can help identify potential hazards, prevent heating-related emergencies, and keep your family safe throughout the winter months.

Stay warm, stay safe!
