🚨A Safer Springettsbury Township starts with proper staffing.🚨

For too long, decisions made by Springettsbury Township have slowed the progression of our fire department. Now, more than ever, we need the community’s help to move forward.

York Area United Fire and Rescue proposed 2027 budget includes six additional firefighter positions. For Springettsbury, that means increasing staffing on one fire engine from two firefighters to three.

That one additional firefighter means more hands available to get water on the fire, search for trapped residents, provide medical care, and handle multiple critical tasks when every second matters.

An independent peer assessment also identified staffing as an area needing improvement, noting that current staffing levels limit YAUFR’s ability to operate according to many industry best practices.

This investment comes directly back to our residents through a stronger and safer emergency response.

Springettsbury residents, please stay informed and get involved. Information about the upcoming budget workshops and budget presentation is included on the flyer.

If you can attend in person, please do. If you can’t, attend virtually. If you can’t attend either way, contact your Township Supervisors using the information provided on the flyer and make your voice heard.

We need your help. A safer Springettsbury starts with proper staffing.

Thank you for the International Association of Fire Fighters and their personnel for the assistance!

The members of IAFF Local 10 are PROUD to stand strong with our brothers and sisters at IBEW Local 29 as they strike for fair wages, safer working conditions, a stop on outsourcing jobs to foreign countries, retiree healthcare and an end to CORPORATE GREED!

Working closely with these men and women on a regular basis, we see how much they put on the line to ‘keep the lights on!’ It’s time they get what they deserve in return!

Stand strong and hold the line brothers!

In solidarity,

McKeesport Firefighters IAFF Local 10 ⚡️⚡️💪🏼💪🏼

IAFF Local 64 sought an emergency court order allowing members to address elected officials directly about fire department staffing, response times and other public safety concerns

Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Florida's state budget for fiscal year 2026-27, restoring a Florida Retirement System cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Special Risk members. This strengthens the retirement security of firefighters, paramedics, and other first responders, and recognizes the sacrifices they make throughout their careers protecting their communities.

We are grateful for the leadership of the Florida Senate and Florida House for making this legislation a priority and to Governor Ron DeSantis for signing it into law. This is a meaningful investment in the men and women who have dedicated their careers to protecting Florida today and into the future.

We especially thank our firefighter Brother, Senator Ed Hooper, for being the driving force behind this legislation, alongside Senator Debbie Mayfield. Thank you to Representative Randy Maggard for sponsoring the bill in the House.

🚑 MORE THAN FIREFIGHTERS: WE ARE YOUR FIRST RESPONDERS 🚑

⚕️​Firefighters are fully trained first responders and EMTs. In an emergency, we don't just mitigate property damage-we deliver critical, life-saving medical care right on the scene.

🏥 When a patient is rescued, in critical condition, or waiting for transport, a properly staffed 5-person crew ensures that medical interventions happen seamlessly while the patient is packaged without compromising personnel safety.
