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 3,500 emergencies each year from its 3 stations located at 184 East Center Hill Road, Dallas Township, 23 Firehouse Road, Lehman 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.
Back Mountain Regional’s Paramedic Service has achieved an industry reputation of excellence for providing the highest level of quality care in the area. Our record and commitment to the service has allowed us to recruit the area’s top Paramedic’s and EMT’s.
The fire department has been recognized for the professional qualifications of its members by the Pennsylvania Office of the State Fire Commissioner through its Professional Certification Program. The program certifies departments for its accomplishment in training and education when it meets or exceeds the nationally recognized standards. Back Mountain Regional Fire Department is the only area department which has been recognized for having over 50% of its fire personnel certified.
Our equipment consists of 1 Pumper Truck, 2 Rescue Trucks, 1 Ladder Truck, 2 Tankers, 3 Ambulances, 2 Brush Trucks, 1 6×6 Utility Vehicle, 1 Hazardous Materials Trailer, and a large inventory of portable equipment to provide various services during natural disaster incidents.
Back Mountain Regional is led by Fire Chief Harry Vivian and EMS Chief Christopher Woolfolk

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.

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.

...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! ... See MoreSee Less
