This week, our crews built all in-house, two, “man vs. machine kits” that will be utilized for anything from a machine accident or impalement to a ring stuck on a finger that can’t be removed. This type of equipment came together after several incidents in lower Allen township over the past several years.
While they are built with tools found at a local hardware store, they are now together, organized and ready to use at a moments notice.
The crews worked hard on this project to get it completed. Our crews have had training on various rescue techniques from some of the best in the fire and rescue services from around the country on “man-vs-machine incidents.
We are glad to provide this type of service to the community.

Today, Lower Allen Responded to three calls for service. The crews responded to a active gas leak in the 12 box (Lower Allen) then a fire alarm in the 113 box (West Shore) with active water flow then a brush fire in the 24 box (Lisburn).
We not only support Lower Allen Township citizens but also the surrounding communities.

Are you Lower Allen Brave?
A big thank you to SpringGate Arcona for providing a great meal for our first responders. Springgate Arcona held a first responders appreciation night for all area public safety departments.
So happy to know an establishment appreciates the first responders hard work and dedication to the citizens of Lower Allen Township and surrounding towns.
Happy Presidents Day!
Did you know various United States Presidents served as firefighters or made long lasting assistance to the fire service.
These presidents are just a snapshot of what presidential administrations have done for the fire service. Almost every administration has done something special for the fire service.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
Served from 1789-1797
Not only did he serve as our first U.S. president, but he was also a volunteer firefighter. He served with the Alexandria (Va.) Fire Department after it was founded in 1774. Washington also purchased the town's first fire engine.
THOMAS JEFFERSON
Served from 1801-1809
It has been said that Thomas Jefferson, our third U.S. president, also served as a volunteer firefighter.
WOODROW WILSON
Served from 1913-1921
While not a firefighter, President Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation in 1920. And since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed each October.
Hazardous Materials Operations class continues this weekend at Lower Allen, Station 1. Thank You to Capt. Jeremy Saul from Harrisburg Bureau of Fire for teaching this course for surrounding departments.
Great training!
Captain Saul is a great instructor students will learn a lot from this man.
Awesome 👍
Around 0130 this morning, Lower Allen Fire units were dispatched to the Borough of Shiremanstown for a reported attic fire. Squad 12 arrived taking the first due engine assignment with a hydrant on the corner. The squad crew stretched a single handline inside and started to extinguish the attic fire that started in the chimney area of the residence. The crew preformed extensive overhaul until being released by command 22. The crews were out for 2 hours.
An hour later, Truck 12 was dispatched to Fairview Township, York County for a reported structure fire. Truck 12 arrived and located a small fire at the water heater area. The crews checked for extension and secured power to the residence. Command 68 held the assignment to units on scene and cleared minutes later. The crew was out for an hour.
Shiremanstown Fire Department
Great job once again. God bless you all.
This is my house. I cant give enough praise to Lower Allen & Shiremantowns Borough Fire Department in their handling of the fire. Their quick response and actions not only kept the fire from spreading, but they also saved all of my furniture from being saturated by water or fire. Shiremanstown came back the next day to get their tarps and helped to move some items into another part of the house. The Fire Chief kept us well informed and safe. Thanks to all of the other Departments that came out as well. Also a shout Shiremanstown Code Officer Jody Alloway for being on top of things and getting them moving so we could get back into the part of the house that was liveable. Again Thank You for the Great Job.
Good job guy's 👍🙏
God bless you! Thank you for all you do for our community!
So appreciative and thankful!
Thank you guys again !
It's something that every one of us have imagined at one time or another. No other ride catches our eye like the loud and lit beasts rolling toward danger.
What would it be like to be on board?
To be in the midst of the emergency and counted on.
To be the one knocking down the flames when life is on the line.
Every time you see us, know that we see you too.
And we see a hero in you.
We imagine you sitting with us, ready for action.
We imagine you coming forward in Lower Allen.
We imagine our next generation that's not here today.
Just imagine that it doesn't have to be a dream anymore.
Most often, the only thing holding you back is the mistaken fear that you are not enough. But in this place, new courage takes it place.
It doesn't matter your adult age, size or background.
We're neighbors helping neighbors together.
Plus there are some real benefits.
Join us for a free no-obligation ride along. yes with real first responders on real emergency calls.

...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...
A combination of dry and windy conditions will create an elevated
risk of wildfire spread this afternoon. Minimum relative humidity
values are forecast to drop into the low to mid 20s across
southern Pennsylvania, with wind gusts between 20 and 30mph.
Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If
dry grasses and tree litter begin to burn, the fire will have the
potential to spread rapidly.
For more information about wildfire danger and wildfire prevention
and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry
website.
The on-duty crews made sure they gathered for the Super Bowl at least for a few minutes.
All agencies got to get some food before heading out for various emergency calls for service.

A little funny but serious PSA about addresses, this is a problematic issue all over the country. We do see it all over multiple municipalities including Lower Allen Township.
While, fires are visible most of the time not all our responses or responses from the Police Department or Emergency Medical Services are done with a lot of scene lights, please keep your address visible.
GPS are great tools but time and time again we see it gets us close but not completely to the correct address.
Help Us, Help You & Your Family.
