Tonights fire response took place during our monthly blue grass concert hosted by Seven Mountains Bluegrass Association

While our Operational Members rushed off to assist with the fire, our Supporting Members remained in the station, manning the kitchen and ensuring the guests were well taken care of.

The time that it takes our Operational Members to train, prepare and respond to emergencies often overlaps with our fundraisers.

Without our Supporting Members managing those fundraisers, critical money to operate the Department could be lost.

If your interested in being a Supporting Member, check out our website or stop at the station to inquire about membership

Thank You Supporting Members!

Jacob has been a valuable member of our junior fighter program before entering the fire company after his 18th birthday. Jacob has demonstrated a willingness to learn, strong work ethic, dedication and has taken younger junior ffs under his wing to lead them in additional in-house trainings. It is evident that he lives up to the Scout Oath, Laws and embodies what it means to be an Eagle Scout. Keep up the great work Jacob!

Congratulations to Jacob Dowling on earning the rank of Eagle Scout!

Jacob, a member of Troop 43 in Dallastown, has demonstrated outstanding leadership and dedication throughout his Scouting journey. He has served in numerous roles, including Chaplain Aide, Guide, Instructor, Quartermaster, Scribe, Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader.

For his Eagle Scout project, Jacob removed and reconstructed the access deck at the rear entrance of New Covenant Community Church in Delta, improving safety and accessibility for the community.

It was an honor to present Jacob with a congratulatory citation from the Senate of Pennsylvania. This achievement reflects years of hard work and commitment to service. Well done, Jacob!
