Tomorow is the first day of school for the New Kensington-Arnold (Valley) School District. This also means school buses will be traveling the streets of our city again. Motorists must stop at least 10 feet away from school buses that have their red lights flashing, and stop arm extended; and motorists must wait until the red lights have stopped flashing, and the stop arm has been fully withdrawn before moving. Every year, students are injured by drivers passing stopped school buses.

If you are convicted of violating Pennsylvania’s School Bus Stopping Law, you will receive a̲l̲l̲ of the following penalties:
-$250 fine
-Five (5) points on your driving record
-60-day driver's license suspension

More than 700 drivers are convicted for passing a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing in Pennsylvania annually. Please use caution when driving near school busses this school year!

All 5 companies assisted with the Officer Brian Shaw Memorial Scholarship Ride this morning. Our primary responsibility was shutting down intersections as the miles long line of motorcycles made its way through the city. We would like to thank Lower Burrell VFC No. 1, and Upper Burrell Volunteer Fire Company #1 for helping secure intersections in New Kensington; and for Upper Burrell Truck 115 for helping Truck 1 with the flag display at city hall.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: This Saturday (August 19) is the 6th Annual Officer Brian Shaw Memorial Ride. It will begin at the Pittsburgh Shrine Center in Harmer Township at approximately 10:00AM, and will traverse the A-K Valley for several hours. During the event, there will be roving road closures for periods of up to 30 minutes throughout the area- including within New Kensington (boxed in pink on 1st picture). Due to the New Kensington Bridge closure, this years route though the city is different than in the past (map in 2nd picture). It is difficult to estimate the timing, as more than 1,000 motorcycles are expected to participate.

Company 2 will be at the intersection of Tarentum Bridge Road & Leechburg Road. If you're unable to watch the event roadside, we will 𝑡𝑟𝑦 to livestream from our vantage point on this page as we've done in the past. This event is for a great cause, so please support the ride if you see it!

Engine 2 and Truck 1 attended a preplanning drill yesterday morning at Lower Burrell Manor in Lower Burrell hosted by Lower Burrell Volunteer Fire Company #3 in coordination with Lower Burrell Emergency Management Agency - LBEMA. A fire was simulated in 4th floor apartment. Firefighters responded as they would in a real scenario stretching hose lines, and deploying equipment (no hose lines were charged with water). This "dress rehearsal" helped Lower Burrell VFC #3, and their EMA by implementing their preplan in a controlled environment, as well as identifying strengths & areas of improvement. We would like to thank Lower Burrell VFC #3 for their invitation to yesterday's training.
