April was a full month of training for Station 42.
Our firefighters spent time in pump operations and vehicle extrication classes, building the skills we rely on during real emergency’s. Training like this ensures we are ready when our neighbors need us.
Proud of the work this crew puts in every month!

Fridays high wind storm put our community and our department to the test. In just a few hours, our volunteers handled 12 calls, ranging from a medical emergency, power lines down, trees down, and a woods fire.
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to every member who stepped up to staff the station, respond quickly and keep our neighbors safe. Days like this remind me what make a volunteer department truly special:
Dedication without hesitation.
Teamwork under pressure.
And a commitment to serve, no matter the conditions.
Thank you for your professionalism, you readiness and your heart for this community. I’m proud to stand beside each of you.
-Chief Dietrich 42

*Reminder as we approach colder temperatures to turn off heaters in rooms unattended, place heaters a minimum of 3ft away from anything flammable and have your furnaces and chimneys maintained, and lastly don’t forget your monthly smoke&co detector checks!

Earlier today, Station 42 was dispatched at the request of PA State Police for assistance in rescuing two dogs off of a roof of an abandoned house. Members had to remove brush and trees before they were able to set up ladders and safely retrieve them, and placed them in the hands of the police officers.

Last evening Station 42 members partnered with South Franklin VFD - Station 32 to review and conduct a training exercise on the deployment and use of airbags. Airbags are a unique piece of equipment that, although not used regularly, can greatly enhance rescue efforts by enabling access to restricted areas and lifting heavy objects that other equipment may not handle. Regular training and proficiency exercises are vital to ensure that personnel can proficiently operate the necessary equipment when called upon.
