WELCOME TO BACK MOUNTAIN REGIONAL FIRE & EMS

Back Mountain Fire & EMS was formed in 2013 as a combination of Dallas Fire & Ambulance, Lehman Township Volunteer Fire Department and Shavertown Volunteer Fire Company. Through this regionalization, the company provides Dallas and its neighboring Back Mountain municipalities with the area’s premiere fire and ambulance service.

The Department serves a population of 30,000 people over a 61 mile area. Back Mountain Regional responds to 3,000 emergencies each year from its 3 stations located at 184 East Center Hill Road, Dallas Township, SR 118 in Lehman Twp and 170 N. Main St., Shavertown.

Its reputation for excellence and for providing the highest quality care has allowed the company to recruit the area’s top Paramedics and EMT’s to staff its 3 ambulances which are available 24 hours per day with a combination of full-time staff members and volunteers.

At around 7am this morning, Back Mountain Regional Fire & EMS were dispatched to Old 115 in Lehman Township for a tractor trailer vs car accident. After receiving an update on the severity of the situation, command requested additional resources. Volunteers from Regional Rescue 1&2, Jackson Township Fire, Trucksville Rescue, Regional M30, and Kunkle M33 responded to the incident. Great job to all who responded.

Regional Engine 1 responded to a small mulch fire in the borough, which was ignited by a cigarette butt. This serves as a reminder to refrain from flicking cigarette butts out of car windows.

Area fire departments are responding to multiple calls due to flooded roadways trees down wires down, etc.

Please be advised that a flooded roadway is not necessarily an emergency unless there is danger to life. We understand there are a lot of roadways in the Dallas area that have water on them.

When you encounter a flooded roadway, it’s very hard to tell how deep it is. Please do not drive through it. Turn around and find an alternate route. ... See MoreSee Less

Dallas area:

Veolia Water Pennsylania will be flushing fire hydrants in your area next week, from August 5th to August 9th.

As a result, you may notice a temporary drop in water pressure or may experience discolored water. Running the cold water from the lowest point in the house, or in the bathtub, for several minutes typically clears the lines. You may prefer to wait until the water runs clear before drinking or washing clothes or dishes. ... See MoreSee Less

Just before 5pm yesterday, Back Mountain Regional Fire and Shavertown Fire Department were dispatched to 23 Oval Drive in Dallas Township for an automatic fire alarm. Regional Engine arrived first and reported a smoke condition in the home. The box was upgraded to a residential structure bringing units from Kunkle and Trucksville. 251 Engine and Truck assisted with fire extinguishment, search, and ventilation. No one was home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported. This is a good reminder to ensure all of your smoke detectors are in working order.

...and most of them get laughed at, ridiculed, and put down as "non professionals" despite having to go for the same training and comply with the same rules... AND have to do their own support and funding as well. The U.S. is in for a huge, costly shock as volunteerism dies out from the general public's indifference. Last check, it was about $5000/year for every person in PA to pay for 100% full time paid departments to replace volunteers... So a family of 3 could expect an additional tax of around $15K a year ON TOP OF their current taxes to pay for their emergency services.

Looks like we’re in for some stormy weather later on! Remember to avoid hazards in the road, such as downed trees, which can hide downed powerlines!

I remember freezing my butt off driving that to a call in the middle of winter. 12 cylinders, 24 spark plugs, two dual-point distributors - it was a work of art under that hood.

That engine served Dallas well. Glad to see it had a good home.

I remember driving that

We had one named The Invader, first fire truck I ever qualified on.

That's the one I learned to drive and pump first. Al sitting next to you letting you know how you screwed up!. Lol

If that truck could talk, oh, the stories it could tell. Lookin' really sharp old girl.

So good to see the 53! Lots of memories!

Very nice

ALF Reg.L-4756 Type 775-PJO sales order # 5432 shipped 3/23/1953.

Good job everyone

Through all of our efforts, we raised $28,000 from the 2023 Back Mountain Trail - New Year's Eve 5K!!! All funds from the race come local and stay local. This impact will be felt through the 16 local community organizations that received a donation.

A huge THANK YOU goes out to each and every single person who helps makes this event a reality. From all our incredible sponsors, like our title sponsor Wet Paint Printing & Design, who provides your race day hoodies, to our community of athletes and spectators who show up in hundreds, as well as our army of volunteers who put in countless hours to make the day a success, you all help make this dream we have each year possible.

We look forward to year 4 this New Year’s Eve in 2024! ... See MoreSee Less
