It is with heavy hearts that the members and officers of the Maytown East-Donegal Township Fire Department announce the passing of Past Fire Chief Larry V. Warfel.

His commitment and leadership provided invaluable service to the Maytown community and surrounding areas.

Larry’s passion for helping others, his mentorship, and his unwavering dedication will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of serving alongside him. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of service, integrity, and brotherhood.

We extend our deepest condolences to Larry’s family, friends, and all who knew and loved him during this difficult time.

🔥 WORKING FIRE🔥

On January 21,2026 Company 79, along with neighboring departments, responded to Box 79-01 following reports of a house on fire in the Village of Rowenna.

Engine 79 arrived at the reported address with a crew of five, just under five minutes of dispatch to find flames visible from the Bravo/Charlie corner of a 2.5-story duplex. E79 crew quickly placed two lines in service to extinguish the majority of the visible flames on the exterior and first floor. They then made their way to the second floor with a third hose line, where they discovered fire extension in one of the bedrooms and fire extension in the attic / roofline.

Mutual aid units arrived to assist with opening up and performing overhaul on both the first and second floors. Truck 75 (FDMJ) and Truck 88 (Dauphin) worked diligently to complete vertical ventilation for the interior crews.

Special thank you to all the mutual aid companies that contributed to the response.
