The county wide burn ban has been extended through December 26th. Despite the rain over night we are still well below what is needed! Please remember that there is no open burning of combustible materials which includes fire pits and bon fires!

This morning, at the recommendation of the State District Forester and Department of Emergency Services, the Chester County Commissioners extended the current burn ban for an additional 30 days. The ban is now in effect until December 26, 2024.

As the winds pickup today and continue to come out of the north, Caln Township will continue to see smoke and smell the burning odor from this fire. We appreciate everyone's vigilance with the recent burn ban put in place.

10/26/2024

Effective 10/27 a County wide burn ban will go into effect. Our county is experiencing abnormally dry conditions with low realitive humidity which aides in rapid fire spread. This ban will also apply to recreational fires in accordance with Chester County Resolution BOC 52-24. Please use caution and spread the word!

Thank you to Senator Katie Muth for supporting our funding request for some much needed station upgrades! We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to working together for project funding in the future!

I am thrilled to announce that 29 projects across Senate District 44 have been awarded over $8.4 million in state grants through the statewide Local Share Account (LSA) program and the Public School Facilities Improvement Grant program. This investment will help improve and upgrade school facilities, enhance public safety efforts, improve wastewater treatment facilities, and better equip our first responders.

I appreciate the efforts of our local government officials who continue to advocate for their communities, as well as the collaboration of all the State Representatives who overlap with SD44 to ensure the needs of our communities are met.

Around 10:00 hours, Station 38 was alerted for a pole fire in 600 block of W Bondsville. Rescue 38 arrived to find a pole fire with active brush fire spreading due to high winds. Crews worked to ensure fire would not spread further until the electric was secured by PECO. Once electric was secured, crews quickly extinguisher the fire.

Thank you to mutual aide for their assistance:

Last evening's training put crew's skills practiced over the last month to the test with a life like rescue scenario. Crews worked with EMS to extricate two victims rapidly. Thank you to EMS division for supplying a crew to assist with the drill. Thank you to Miller's Automotive for allowing us to use their facility over the last several weeks

Station 38 along with surrounding mutual aid departments have just cleared a possible building fire assignment within Caln Township. Unfortunately, during the early stages of the incident, the supply hose going from the nearby hydrant to the engine was run over by a motorist. Luckily the hose was not full of water at the time and no significant damage was done to the hose. We URGE everyone to please use caution while incidents are occurring and to not assume that you can pass through as it puts all responders in danger.

Crews continued with our vehicle rescue training series last evening. Crews were given a 2 vehicle accident scenario with full extrication needed on both of the vehicles. Great work to all members in attendance.

Rescue 38 is currently covering while their members partake in a training exercise with mutual aid.
