Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 100 year anniversary dinner this past weekend a success. The fire company, club and ladies auxillary has changed over the past 100 years but one thing remains constant and that is our loyalty to the citizens of Bressler and surrounding communities. Video from the event will be post this evening.
Units are currently operating on a Working Structure Fire in the 1000 block of Main Street. Please avoid the area.
Yesterday, Station 91-2 handled several calls for service, including an AFA, a Medical Assist, a Carbon Monoxide Alarm, and an Elevator Rescue.
Through honest and open communication, we learned another Township station would be low on manpower, so a few members made sure to remain available to respond for the evening. Truly, a TEAM effort made possible by communicating needs.
This happens everyday in Swatara Township. It may not always be with open arms and open minds, but, by working together, the needs of the residents of Swatara Township and our mutual aid partners are met consistently!
**UPDATED** Rain isn't over yet. It may have slowed, but heavier rain will be back in approx. 1 hour.
STAY HOME! If you have to be out, don't stop in the middle of the road to look at flooding off the roadway!
Turn around, don't drown!
