We regret to inform our followers that we will have to cancel tomorrow’s Spring Designer Purse Bingo. This was a difficult decision that we had to make last minute. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause anyone.

Please help spread the word by sharing. Anyone who has purchased tickets will be refunded or will have the option to use that ticket for our next Designer Purse Bingo in the Fall.

We thank you all for your support, and again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

I’d like to start by apologizing for the delay of this post. It should not have taken me 2 weeks to make it.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported our 2nd annual Sportsman’s Bash!

Thanks to our amazing community, generous sponsors, and dedicated volunteers, the event was a tremendous success.

I knew when our daughter, Bri, joined the department 3 years ago, that our family would be helping here and there. How lucky is ITVFD to not only have to deal with 1 Lockerbie, but 3 more and then some?!

Somewhere along the way, I’ve actually come to enjoy the chaos, running around, putting out my own little fires all night, and somehow watching everything come together while everyone is having a great time.

By the end of the night, when we’re all exhausted and it actually worked, there’s definitely a lot of pride in pulling it off. With her guidance and the support of the rest of the department, I’m even more proud that Chief Jeri New let me take a simple idea and run with it.

From those who donated, attended, helped organize, or spread the word, this event was a success because of YOU.

Your support helps us continue to serve and protect our community every day.

A simple “thank you” is never enough, we couldn’t do it without you all! 🚒

With gratitude and appreciation,
Jessica Lockerbie

WATCH THOSE ROADS!
Boy did we get a lot of rain last night!!! We hope this finds everyone safe and dry! Our township has the usual flooding (the bottom of Ridge, Park Road, Links Bridge) and we are working with the Township to close them down. Hopefully they will recede quickly but please remember “turn around, don’t drown”! It only takes 18” of water to lift a vehicle! Besides the usual flooding, there are lots of areas where there is ponding and/or debris across the road
