Volunteers with Regional Engine 1 handling a car fire at CVS in Dallas Boro
We relish this chance to talk about watch vs. warning. 🌠#HotDogDay
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!

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.

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!
Fantastic job, was glad to see how many people came out to support that day!!🥳💕

We asked you to help us help them. You all want to see what showing up looks like. When we asked you to become part of this story with us we expected something. We weren’t quite sure what we were going to get. The heart of all that contributed to bring a family back is what it’s all about. A very huge thank you, goes out to all of you and our local businesses!!
This is so amazing!

Our Thoughts and prayers to Billy’s family. A lifetime of service to our community dearly missed.William “Billy†Hagenbaugh, age 64 of Lehman, passed away Wednesday, October 18, 2023 at home.
He was born on December 1, 1958 and was the son of the late William J. and Jessie D. Hagenbaugh.
Bill was a well-respected member of the community, serving for over 50 years in the Lehman Twp. Fire Department, 30 plus years as Assistant and Chief. He always encouraged training, education, and free thinking. He was also instrumental in the creating of the now Back Mountain Regional Fire/EMS in hopes of providing services and response times to better serve his community. Bill was an officer for 11 years in the Back Mountain Police Association, Lehman Twp., Lake Twp. and Dallas Boroughs departments. He was currently employed by the H&K group, Pikes Creek division, as a driver and a certified driving instructor. Bill had been trained in sales while he was employed by the Sunday Independent Newspaper, and used those talents at Ertley Motorworld, Pompey Dodge and Susquehanna Fire Equipment. He also worked as a winter seasonal driver for Penn Dot, Pikes Creek.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years, the former Helen Heffernan; sisters, Linda Gregory (Donald) of Lehman and Debra Agnew (Brian) of Loyalville; sister-in-law, Ann Heffernan-Root Koval (Phil) of Trucksville; nephews, Kurt Schneider of North Carolina, Jared Schneider of Danville, Jack Schneider of Lehman, Kallie and Hunter Root of Binghamton, NY and Thomas Heffernan; treasured great nieces, all brothers and sisters in the fire, EMS and police services.
Funeral services will be held Monday, October 23, 2023 at 11:00 am from the Curtis L. Swanson Funeral Home, Inc., corner of Routes 29 and 118, Pikes Creek, with Pastor Fadi Haddad and Elder Joseph Marr of the Beaumont 7th Day Adventist Church, officiating.
Visitation will be from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM on Sunday at the funeral home.
Interment will be in the Chapel Lawn Memorial Park, Dallas.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Beaumont 7th Day Adventist Church, 5645 PA 309, Harveys Lake, PA 18612 or True Friends Animal Welfare, 16332 PA-706, Montrose, PA 18801.
