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.
Severe Weather in the next hour. Please be cautious of trees, power lines and other dangers from the weather.

...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!
Thank you!
Several units from Back Mountain are engaged in operations at a second alarm structure fire in Fairmount Township.
