Additional photos from our 7/20/26 company level drill. Crews utilized various tools and equipment to dismantle a car and a decommissioned mini bus. This drill allowed some of our newer members to get some additional training and experience in order to be better prepared to operate on incidents.

Our Monday night drill involved a mock crash involving a mini bus. Some of our members kids agreed to be “victims” that required removal from the vehicle. Thanks to West Willow Fire Company for joining us, and huge thanks to the guys from A&J Towing for everything they did to make this happen. Additional images will likely be posted at a later time.

Please see the post below and save 911 for true emergencies.

As storm activity increases, the Department of Public Safety reminds residents to use 9‑1‑1 only for life‑threatening emergencies so call‑takers remain available for critical situations.

Call 9‑1‑1 for Emergencies Dial 9‑1‑1 when there is immediate danger to life, safety, or significant property damage, including:

• Trees or limbs blocking roads and creating hazards
• Downed power lines that are sparking, arcing, burning, or threatening people or structures
• Rising or fast‑moving floodwaters trapping people or vehicles
• Basement flooding causing electrical hazards, collapse risks, or trapping occupants
• Any situation where someone is injured or in danger

If you’re unsure whether it’s dangerous, call 9‑1‑1.

Use the Non‑Emergency Line for Non‑Urgent Issues Call the non‑emergency number for situations that are not an immediate threat:

• Downed trees or limbs not blocking traffic or creating hazards
• Non‑dangerous power outages (also report to your utility provider)
• Minor or contained basement flooding
• Flooded roads already closed or with no one in danger
• Follow‑up questions about previous incidents

For emergencies: Call 9‑1‑1
For non‑urgent matters: Call 717‑664‑1180
For outages: Contact PP&L at 1-800-342-5775 or Ephrata Electric at 717-733-1277

Around 12:30 this afternoon, The Conestoga Volunteer Fire Company requested engine and tanker for a large field fire. Tanker 55 arrived and supplied brush units and assisted with fire suppression while Engine 55 laid 900’ of 5” supply line down to a pond on the property and supplied approximately 4,000 gallons. We appreciate Iron Ridge Fire Rescue for standing by in our station while we assisted station 53 and helping to load the 900’ of supply line back on our engine. Special thanks also to whomever dropped a case of Gatorade off while we were at the fire. On a day like this we are grateful for these kind acts and are always in need of hydration drinks.

Photo swiped from Frogtown Cafe page - hope they don’t mind.

Old school shot of Pequea Township Police Department Sgt Barton with A/C Shenk, FF Hess (who later served as an assistant chief), and we believe A/C Steele. Shenk and Steele both served several years as fire chief, several years after this photo was taken.

The final weekend of May resulted in five dispatched incidents for the 55 volunteers. Saturday started off before 4am, when fire police were requested to assist 60 on an incident on Rt 272 near the Pequea / Providence Township line. Fire police were on scene until shortly after 8am. Around 3:30PM, Rescue, followed by the Utility and fire police made the response to a 2 car injury crash, assisting 53, on the 900 bl of Long Lane. Units returned in short order, with minimal fire services required. Shortly after 6:30PM, Engine, followed by the Utility with additional personnel, responded automatic aid on the reported house fire on Chadwick Circle, in the 66 first due. First arriving units from 66 found smoke showing. Engine 55 established a secondary water supply, threw some ladders, and the crew was assigned to the Bravo exposure of the duplex for recon and eventually ventilation.

Sunday brought a dispatch around 1:15PM, Rescue due auto aid to 53 on a reported injury crash on River Rd at River Corner Rd. 53 units arrived and cancelled Rescue 55. At approximately 5:45PM, the tanker was added to a woods fire in the Mount Nebo area, assisting company 58 with additional water.

Monday evening June 1 will be monthly maintenance night, so members of our crew will be around the firehouse from 7-9? PM going over the rigs and equipment.

If you're local to us, and being a part of the fire company is something that might interest you, feel free to swing in on Monday evening. We'd be happy to show you around and answer questions you might have about becoming involved at 55.

It's the second Monday of the month, which means tonight is our monthly company business meeting. The meeting starts at 8, and typically doesn't last longer than an hour, usually less. Members will be around by 7. If you have interest in joining the 55 team, stop by, hear what's going on, and talk to our members. We are always happy to talk with area residents who may be prospective new members of NDFC.

We don’t have an over abundance of businesses in our first due, which is, for the most part, suburban and agricultural. That said, the businesses that we do have are supportive neighbors. Restoration Tractor Sales on Church Rd recently held a large auction, mostly tractors and tractor accessories. A gentleman who is not known to us donated a toy pedal tractor to be sold at the auction, with the proceeds to go to a volunteer fire company. Thank you to the donor and to Restoration Tractor. The proceeds were split between us and Robert Fulton Fire Company, as one of their mechanics is active with 89. Support from the community is always appreciated.
