This weekend 6 members from Eureka as well as members from Shrewsbury, New Freedom and even one member from Quentin VFD (Southern Lebanon Co) attended a 16-hour EVOC class hosted by Eureka. There was 8-hours of classroom on Saturday and another 8-hours of behind the wheel on Sunday. Students had to complete the road course without hitting the traffic cones. All students passed the class and will receive a certificate from VFIS.

On behalf the class we would like to thank the instructor Adam Waltemyer and his 2 assistants, Jared Hartleib and Pat Horan.

Today at 11:20AM Eureka VFD was alerted for a tractor on fire in a field in the area of Trout School Rd/Rambo Rd in East Hopewell Twp. A duty officer from Station 45 was in the area with a large column of smoke and requested to add an additional tanker (T45). R54, T54, E54 & BR54-2 (East Hopewell) responded. Crews arrived to a fully involved farm tractor owned by Sky Blu Farms. Crews used two attack lines to knock down the fire. The fire was accidental due to a mechanical issue. There were no injuries or damage to any property. The tractor is a total loss.

On 5/16/26, Eureka Volunteer Fire and Ambulance got to kick off EMS Week with a very special moment.

On 4/5/26 Fire and EMS personnel from Eureka Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Company and Citizens Volunteer Fire Company (Station 56) responded to the area of Alum Rock and Wheat Road for a report of a subject in cardiac arrest. Upon arrival at location, personnel were met by one of the subjects grandsons who led them to the patient who was several hundred yards off the road, alongside a creek, where the patient had been fishing. When personnel made it to the patient, the patients other grandson was performing CPR.

Through great team effort, crews were able to quickly and safely remove the patient and transport them to a local hospital where the patient has made a full recovery. Yesterday, the patient and his wife made a visit to Eureka and were able to meet the crews that were there that day. This was truly a gratifying and humbling experience for all involved and stresses the importance of how providing hands only CPR can have a positive impact on a call of this type!

The grandsons (Rip & Kaizel Reichenbach)were both given Lifesaving Pins, the same pins were given to all of the first responders who were involved in this successful operation. They also received a Eureka department patch and to top it off they were given a personal ride aboard Truck 54.

Folks we can’t stress enough about how important it is for EVERYONE to know how to do CPR!!

UPDATE: just after posting this Eureka was dispatched for a MVA w/unknown injuries. R54 and EMS on scene with a vehicle with front end damage but no occupants were found on the scene. Crews used a TIC (thermal imaging camera) to check the area but nothing found. The incident was turned over to PSP.

Busy start of the week for Eureka Volunteers. Today just after 8:18AM we were dispatched to the 3600 block of Bowers Rd in Hopewell Twp for a fire alarm. R54 responded and was advised that the resident set off the alarm from burnt toast and the box was placed in service.

At approximately 3:51PM Eureka was dispatched to the 9400 block of High Rock Road in East Hopewell Twp for a commercial vehicle fire (box delivery truck). R54 and Brush 54-2 responded with Brush 54-2 arriving on scene reporting a working fire. Brush 54-2 was able to extinguish the majority of the fire. R54 arrived and crews assisted with extinguishing the remaining fire and overhaul. T54 responded to supply additional water. The fire originated in the engine compartment. There were no injuries.

Tonight approximately 25 members from Eureka along with our mutual aid friends from Station 61 (Shrewsbury) and Station 58 (New Freedom) did a walk thru of the Johnson Control lab building in the Stonebridge commercial development in Hopewell Twp. We do these walk thru sessions to allow our members to get familiar with the building and its contents.

Today Truck 54 with 6 firemen attended a rope rescue class hosted by our friends at Station 61 in Shrewsbury. The class was instructed by instructors from Independent Safety. Crews worked to hoist and lower a stokes basket by using various ropes and rigging equipment. Crews put in an 8-hour day.

Special thanks to Josh Zulick and Kurt Vines for their valuable knowledge and expertise.

Thank you Station 61 for inviting us to join you today!!
