2020 a year to remember! This has been an extremely challenging year for our firefighters and EMS personnel.  We put our lives on the line each and every day to serve our great community; however, this has been the most challenging situation with which we have ever had to deal. Our dedicated volunteer fire, EMS and EMS staff continue to serve our community with all safety precautions in place. We take the health and safety of  our First Responders extremely seriously so they can operate safely and stay healthy so we are able to respond to help others who are in need.

Our annual fund drive was mailed out in the beginning of June. Thank you to all who have donated to us this far. Your help is needed now more than ever to support our volunteers and staff.

We are working on getting a new ambulance and will keep everyone posted on when it comes.

Shout out to the resident that cleared this Fire Hydrant from snow!! This is the Fire Hydrant that we used for last nights fire. The Hydrant being dug out and visible helped us get water on the fire as quick as we can which let to us being able to stop the fire from spreading. We can’t stress enough how important it is to keep these clear of obstructions! ... See MoreSee Less

Smoke detectors save lives hydrants save properties make sure they are both in working order!!!

I suggest fireman take a ride thru Rotterdam and see if they are being dug out before it is to late

I used to dig out the hydrant across the street and the plow would bury it again every time!

I've been trying to educate residents here in Allentown about clearing fire hydrants of snow but most don't listen. I did the one on the block I live on while everyone else just looked on.

Always dig our hydrant out.

We always make sure ours is dugged out

Yes, wow. This is the most tragic story. Need to do anything we can to help folks who help us in emergencies (not saying this is connected to a fire hydrant. We just need to stay on top of safety. Bad things do happen 😥) dailyvoice.com/new-jersey/essex/police-fire/double-fatal-girl-11-dies-trying-to-rescue-8-month-ol...

Our members stayed busy over the weekend, with four of them taking a three day class, that featured working on all of our basic skills in real time under live fire conditions. A few hours after returning from class around 10:36pm, we were dispatched to a reported dwelling fire in our Township within 4 minutes Fire Chief S.VanWhy and Fire Marshal S.Milham were on scene. At that time they were able to confirm everyone was out of the house. The fire was brought under control in 10 minutes. Crews operated until around 1:30 this morning. We would like to thank our mutual aid companies Catasauqua, Hecktown, Northamton, Bethlehem Township, Nancy Run, and Bethlehem Township EMS also thank you to our EMS and our Public Works for salting to keep our members safe. ...

Well the snow has arrived but it’s not leaving for awhile ... Here are some helpful tips to keep our community safe!

1- Clear 3 feet on all sides of fire hydrants and a path to the street.

2- Keep all vents clear on your house.

3- Stay home unless necessary to travel. This will ensure our public works crews can continue to clear our streets without issue.

Stay Safe!!

The Volunteer

Our pagers lay beside our bed, With the button on alert. As we lay down to go to sleep, We pray no one gets hurt. As we lay in blissful sleep, Our own shrill tones we hear, We quietly crawl from our warm beds, And glance at loved ones so near. We scamper in the dark to find, Our shirt, our socks, our shoes. And nervously await to hear, From dispatch, that dreaded news. So many things go through our minds Our families don’t understand. That need and that desire, To lend a helping hand. Sometimes it’s us that suffer though, When things get out of control. Our lives, our loves, our families, Are the ones that pay the toll. I know at times it seems unfair, To not go on that call. But, look around at what you have, Or someday lose it all. RLH
