New Fire Station

After years of hard work officials broke ground to begin construction of Lower Macungie’s new fire station. The station will be located at Sauerkraut and Millcreek road. Construction of the environmentally friendly building should be completed by January 2010. Be sure to check back regularly as we update photos of the progress.

The purpose of the Professional Certification Program is to identify and recognize emergency service personnel whose accomplishments in training and education meets or exceeds nationally recognized standards. A person certified to one of the Fire Service Professional levels will have demonstrated competency in the knowledge and skills required to perform at a particular level. The service that can beoffered to the citizens and communities of the Commonwealth will be enhanced by the professional competency attained through this certification process. For a department to receive recognition, the minimum number of certified personnel must be equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the number of active members. A bronze, silver and gold border will be placed on the standard certificate and decal to respectively denote 50%, 75%, 100% participation. +more

The department completed the advanced rescue certification program which is the highest attainable level offered and is now one of a handful fire departments in the Eastern Pennsylvania EMS Council’s six county region to obtain this level. This recognition comes after two years of hard work and time devoted by the department’s volunteer firefighters. Certification requirements included additional training in rescue, hazardous materials and first aid, evaluation of equipment standards, policies and procedures in the department, physical inspection of apparatus, equipment along with a review of each member’s training certifications. +more
