❄️ Winter Safety Reminder ❄️
Please keep all exterior vents, exhausts, and utility meters around your home clear of snow and ice. Blocked vents can cause dangerous conditions inside the home and make it harder for emergency crews to safely do their job.
And if you have a fire hydrant near your home, consider taking a few extra minutes to shovel it out during heavy snowfall. Clear, visible hydrants save critical time when seconds matter. A little effort goes a long way in helping keep everyone safe this winter.

We join our neighbors in mourning the loss of former Kearsarge Fire Chief F. Patrick Scully. Chief Scully dedicated his life to the fire service and exemplified true leadership and service. His impact will not be forgotten. Rest easy, Chief. Thank you for your years of service.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to The Union Printers Home Foundation and their Erie representative Dan W for their extremely generous donation to the department!

Since the Township has withdrawn all financial support and we do not get any of the Township Fire Tax money, we depend on donations and fundraisers to allow us to continue our almost 90 year mission of helping provide for the safety of Township residents.

Santa would like to apologize to any areas that he was not able to get to tonight, but the weather caused a significant delay and we are not supposed to be making a lot of noise after 8 PM. Santa wants to assure everyone that he will get to everyone on Christmas!
