Ladder 74 In Service!
On May 12th, 2018 Chalfont Fire Company officially placed the new Ladder 74 into service. The Pierce Enforcer Ladder truck is station at Station 74 located at 1034 Schoolhouse road in New Britain township and will give the fire company many great years of helping keep our community safe. Stop up on the third Thursday night of any month and check out our new Ladder!
RIP Chief!
It is with heavy hearts that the Chalfont Fire Company announces the passing of Life Member and Past Assistant Chief Richard K. (Dick) Cadwallader. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all of us here at Chalfont Fire Company. Rest easy Chief! We’ll take it from here
New Ladder 74
After just over 20 years of service to the Chalfont and surrounding communities, the “old” Ladder 74 was put out of service for the final time and has since been sold to another volunteer fire company in South Carolina. The new truck has arrived from Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton Wisconsin and in the coming weeks will be put into service to continue serving our local community.
Winter Safety Tips
Winter 2018 is in full swing. Snow, high winds and record cold temperatures can make for dangerous conditions for you and your family. Are you prepared?
We’re not just talking about milk, bread and eggs to be prepared. Do your flashlights work? Is your phone charged? Do you have spare batteries? Do you have a safe place for a generator far enough away from the home? Do you have a plan for any outside pets?
And of course, don’t forget about hydrants. They’re out there all the time, waiting. Be kind and make sure your local hydrants are clear and visible, it WILL save the lives of you or someone you love.
Your friends at Chalfont Fire Company will be ready for the coming Snow and cold
