We’re excited to announce that we’ve borrowed an antique fire truck from the Daleville-Salem Township Fire Protection Territory for our Public Safety Day event tomorrow. This historic truck has a special connection to our department, having originally served us before being sold to the Daleville-Salem Township Fire Protection Territory.

A huge thank you to @paddockwreckerservice for generously towing the truck to our station at no charge – we appreciate your support.

Join us tomorrow from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM to see this incredible piece of fire department history up close. We can’t wait to share it with you.

We’d like to take a moment to express our gratitude to one of our own, Firefighter/EMT Lucas Sarver, for his dedicated service overseas, fighting for our freedom. Lucas is just one example of the bravery and selflessness that exists within our team.

Our department is proud to have several current and former military personnel, including Lucas, who have served both at home and abroad. We want to extend our sincerest appreciation to each and every one of them for their tireless efforts and commitment to protecting our country and its people.

As harvest season reaches its peak across our community, it’s common to see more farm equipment on the roadways, particularly during early morning and evening hours.

PLEASE SLOW DOWN & STAY ALERT!

Farmers are dedicated to feeding our communities, and their equipment often travels at slower speeds than regular traffic. To help ensure everyone’s safety, consider the following precautions:

Be patient and avoid rushing, as most equipment will pull over when it’s safe to do so.
Maintain a safe distance from large machinery, as tailgating can be extremely hazardous.
Only pass farm equipment when it’s safe and legally permitted.
Be aware of potential turns, as tractors may swing wide or make unexpected turns into fields or driveways.
Exercise extra caution during periods of low visibility, such as when dust is present or during dawn and dusk hours, as these conditions can make equipment more difficult to see.

By taking these simple steps, we can all contribute to protecting the people who work tirelessly to cultivate the land. A few extra minutes on the road is a negligible price to pay for the safety of our community.
