Millville Community Fire Company

A 6 wheel 6x6 Utility Terrain Vehicle UTV was recently purchased by the fire company.

This vehicle will be used for wildfire response along with search and rescue operations. The vehicle will have a  skid style water pump and foam fire fighting unit which is on order.

The vehicle will be equipped with radio communications and lighting. A trailer to haul the vehicle is also being planned.

Watch for this vehicle to be on display at upcoming events.

The Millville Community Fire Company Ambulance recently passed inspection and successfully received re-licensure from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Ambulance Services in Pennsylvania are required to be licensed by the Commonwealth and licenses must be re-newed every 3 years. The licensure approval and inspection process includes submisison of an application, training records, and other documentation along with an onsite inspection by a Department of Health Representive and the Seven Mountains EMS Council.

A team of both volunteer and paid EMS staff worked diligently during this process to assist and the fire company appreciates their efforts.

The fire company is also proud to be accredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Health to continue to provide quality Emergency Medical Services to the residents of the Millville Community.

During the September Meeting of the Millville Community Fire Company the membership voted to purchase a new Ambulance to replace the 2000 Braun Ambulance.  The new vehicle will be a 2016  Braun Ambulance on a Dodge Chassis sold by Glick Fire Equipment.

The vehicle will look similar to the 2010 Dodge Ambulance and will have a State of the Art Stryker Power Lift system.

The Fire Company trustees have given this purchase their blessing and the vehicle is ordered.

This purchase is a symbol of the Fire company's desire to provide high quality Emergency Medical Services to the Millville Area for many years to come.

A photo taken by Fire Company photographer Harry Watts has been selected by Geisinger Health Systems for use in the 2011 LifeFlight Helicopter 30th Anniversary Calendar.

The photo was taken at a July 1 2009 fiery MVA in Madison Township and also MIllville Firefighters Randy Watts, Jason Reichenbach, and Charles Dietterick along with an unidentified Washingtonville Firefighter. Ironically the photo was used for the month of July in the calendar.

The Millville Fire Company appreciates Harry's incident photos and the time he invests in publishing the pictures. His pictures have been used not only on this website but also for training, incident review, and documentation purposes.
