Congratulations to all who serve. A shout out to Erin. Her family roots in the area go way back to both sets of her great-great grandparents which lived in Plains PA in the 1920’s.💕

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.
