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.
Great job. :)
Volunteers with Regional Engine1, Tanker1 & Shavertown Truck we’re dispatched to a residential fire alarm in dallas twp the regional engine arrived and determined that it was a faulty detector. Shavertown was canceled.
A good reminder to make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are up to date and working

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.
Look at the radar, Scranton and up to Bingham NY
Thank you for sharing

...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.

Thanks for Sharing Tom!
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!

A huge THANK YOU goes out to each and every single person who helps makes this event a reality.
