Aristes Fire Company #1

Aristes Fire Company #1 Proudly serving our community since 1923 with an ISO rating of 4/4Y and a QRS licensure. Volunteers respond to a multitude of emergencies throughout the region.

We are a small 100% volunteer fire company in the Anthracite Coal Region of Pennsylvania. We have 4 pieces of apparatus in service: Rescue/Engine 352 (1997 Pierce), Pumper/Tanker 353 (2007 KME), Squad 351 (1999 Ford) and a Kubota RTV900 with trailer. The coverage area is a little over 34 square miles and encompasses parts of 2 townships (Conyngham and Roaring Creek). We are dual dispatched to call

s throughout the remainder of Conyngham Twp and Centralia Borough for emergent responses. 1st and 2nd alarm response area goes into 3 counties (Columbia, Northumberland, Schuylkill) including multiple municipalities covering well over 250 square miles. These mutual aid responses take our volunteers into the communities of Conyngham, Locust, Cleveland, Roaring Creek, Union, East Union, Mt Carmel and Butler townships along with Centralia, Ringtown, Mt Carmel and Ashland Boroughs. Services we provide include: structural fire, wildfire(brush fire), hazardous materials, vehicle rescue, some ropes, confined space, trench and collapse capabilities as well as a Pennsylvania Department of Health Quick Response Service (QRS) license. This license recognizes us as a responder for medical and traumatic events within our coverage area. Speaking of emergencies, we are dispatched by the Columbia County Communication Center (CCCC) on a frequency of 156.015. This can also be found online through Broadcastify or on your smart phone by downloading the app for Scanner Radio and then searching Columbia County.PA. If you are interested in helping us and volunteering while giving something back to the community, contact us. We are always searching for new members to help with emergency responses, fund raising, building maintenance and much more. Our fundraising efforts include a monthly breakfast, ticket sales, dinners, 2 gun nights a year, a fund drive and much more. Again if you are interested let us know and we hope to see you all at our fund raisers. We would much rather see you there, then to have to bring our apparatus to your house for an emergency. If you need us to come to your house, remember the number to call is 911. Do not call the station number listed below. Thank you all and be safe...

Just before 1230 this afternoon ECEN911 dispatched the motorcycle accident box to the area of State Route 42 and Roaring Creek Trail. RE273 arrived first finding a motorcycle rider with injuries. BLS arrived along with RE352. The pt was loaded into the BLS and transported to a local ER with ALS recalled. C270B had the Brush Valley Command. All units were then placed available by PSP.

Units on the Box were RE352, RE273, A93, M64 and PSP.

Early this morning our volunteers were aroused at 4am for something we often don’t see in our first due coverage area. ECEN911 began receiving calls of a garage fire in the 3500 block of Aristes Hwy in Aristes. 353 responded and arrived with E331 finding a working fire in a single story garage. 2 lines were stretched and fire suppression began. RE273 arrived and placed 1 line in-service to protect the house. The fire was brought under control with these lines. Overhaul and searching for extension were initiated. All crews cleared before 7am. In all 5 garages suffered heat or fire damage.

It is not without the help of our first alarm mutual aid partners that this fire was contained without more damage to other garages and several houses. We cannot thank all of our mutual aid partners enough for their responses to this. They include Wilburton Hose, Valley Chemical, Ringtown Valley Fire and Rescue, Anthracite Fire, Mt Carmel Area Rescue Squad, Kulpmont Fire, Atlas, Rescue Hook and Ladder and AREA Services and the dispatchers in all 3 counties involved.
