Did you know that the Hummels Wharf / Monroe Township Fire Police play a crucial role in traffic control and scene safety during emergency incidents? They ensure the safe passage of emergency vehicles while protecting both responders and the public. From being one of the first on the scene and the last to leave, fire police perform essential duties such as directing traffic, controlling crowds, and securing equipment. Their presence is vital for maintaining order and safety during emergency situations. When you encounter a fire police officer at an emergency scene, it's important to be alert and take appropriate action: slow down, move over, and follow their directions. Ignoring these instructions can result in fines and points added to your driving record and up to suspension of your driving privileges. Remember, just like you, they want to return home safely to their families! Let's work together to ensure everyones’ safety on the road! Pay attention to the fire police officer - they are sworn local government officals and are there for the protection of the emergency responders, and YOU! (fb)

Last evening, members took the evening off for our Banquet. We had guest speakers from the State Fire Commissioner’s Office and Senator Linda Schlegel Culver’s office. Yearly awards were given, along with some overdue recognition to former Chief Jeff Buckley. A special thank you to Mifflinburg Hose Company for providing coverage so all of our members, who were able to attend, could enjoy the evening! (fb)
