The Shillington Fire Department honors the sacrifices our fallen brother and sisters in Law Enforcement, every day, but especially during Police Week 2026.

Several of our volunteers are full-time police officers and retired police officers.

This year, three of our full-time police officers rode their bicycles approximate 250 miles from Atlantic City, New Jersey to Washington, DC.

Two other full-time police officers and two of our volunteer members served in supporting roles such as security, food/drink service, and transportation.

All members raised funds for Law Enforcement United Inc. which ultimately provides funding for several other programs which benefit the families of fallen police officers.

We salute these members for their commitment and dedication to this special cause 🫡💙🖤💙🫡

A big 🫡 to you, Bundy, for your 2.5+ decades of service to our County Dispatch center. Many of our members have known you this much, or longer, via the fire service. We have worked with you, next to you, and around you, and for you!

Outside of the emergency services your firework displays are amazing!!! 🎆 And we would never miss you at a Royals match!!

Continue your awesome service to your community as Fire Marshal and enjoy your well deserved retirement, friend.

📻 ⚡️ 🚔 🚒 🚑

Today was a bittersweet day for the Berks DES team. One of our Watch Officers, Barry Katzin, completed his last shift after a 25+ year career with Berks County. Barry managed a shift in our 9-1-1 Communications Center (last assigned to the daylight tour) and among his management tasks, was a recognizable voice on the radio, providing emergency response coordination along with his shiftmates in the Center.

Barry was not just a skilled telecommunciator and manager. He is also a firefighter/Fire Marshal in his home community and a certified EMS provider. This is a body of experience that is bordering on irreplaceable, and there is no question we will be less without him.

However, we celebrate his retirement, and we are happy he will be moving to a new opportunity that will have him home with Michele on holidays (OK, maybe not the 4th of July - IYKYK) and only working weekends when it is something he wants to do! We are also glad to know he will still be an emergency responder, and we will get to talk to him in the other direction on the radio.

If you know Barry, please congratulate him on this milestone. If you are an emergency responder who has benefitted from Barry's experience behind the mic, please take a minute to thank him for his service over these many years.

Congratulations Barry!

A big thank you to the Pennsylvania Office of the State Fire Commissioner for approval and funding of the 2025/2026 Fire Services Grant. Grant funds were used to upgrade our aging helmet fleet as well as handful of other safety items currently inbound.

These programs reduce the financial burden on Borough of Shillington residents.

Our fire officers meet quarterly to ensure the appropriate items get repaired or replaced via programs such as these, all while providing our members with the latest and safest equipment available.

Be safe. 🚒 🧑‍🚒 🇺🇸
