Trucksville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association
Trucksville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association! Also, Original Creator & head of the Back Mountain Tanker Task Force.
Today our volunteers responded with our engine and tanker along with the Back Mountain Tanker Task Force, to assist Plymouth fire on a multiple dwelling, working structure fire. Units operated for approximately 4-1/2 hours and assisted in delivering nearly 100,000 gallons of water to the fire scene. Thanks to Jackson,Kunkle, Idetown, Mt.Zion, Noxen, Lake Silkworth, and Back Mountain Regional fire, for assisting with their tankers for the water supply operation, also thanks to Harvey’s Lake tanker for standing by at our station to cover any calls in our town. Many residents came out and brought water and Gatorade for the crews on scene which was much appreciated.Our Fire Police personnel also assisted in shutting down route 11 for the duration of the call.
Thank you for assisting.. A survivor of a devastating fire, you are the true hero's of every conversation tonight.. Thank you & God bless you
I was at Lowe's this morning when I saw the smoke in the distance. Alot of people were nervous watching the smoke and wondering where it was coming from.

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.Earlier this week we visited with the kids at I’m Big Now learning center to help them learn about water and fire safety.

It was a cute thing. They were celebrating water week and I was asked to come and talk about where we get our water as a FD from. We pulled the trash line off and if the kids didn’t have the right answer we squirted them. Then if we couldn’t hear them respond loud enough we squirted them. We allowed every child to flow water and it was just darling to see the teachers and all of the kids in bathing suits getting into it. Educational but fun! 💕🧑🚒

Sheetz said unleaded 88 will be $3.99 a gallon E85 will cost $3.49 a gallon.In the fox56 news story they mentioned the Trucksville sheetz as one of the participants
***NOT in NEPA*** 🥲Click on the map.
Too bad they are only lowering the price a couple of cents on Unleaded 88 and E-85. Do not put these fuels in your car unless your vehicle is made to use these.
Not our area click the link to see the map it’s in the lower central areas
Wish 309 Fuel here in Mountain Top would do the same . It's now 4.83 a Gallon now for Regular unleaded.
