PVFC is out with Engine 24, joining several other local fire companies at the Central Bucks Fire Prevention Expo.
Come check out the fire trucks, meet the firefighters, ask questions, and learn more about fire safety!
We'll be here until 7 PM!
PVFC had a great time spending the afternoon at Plumstead Township Community Day. We brought Engine 24 along and enjoyed seeing everyone in the community.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello, check out the truck, and spend some time with us!
And we certainly couldn’t complain about the view with the American flag flying behind us!
Last night at our weekly drill, PVFC was joined by Delaware Valley Volunteer Fire Co. for a night of hands-on roof ventilation training.
Crews worked on our roof prop, practicing different ventilation techniques and getting valuable reps with the tools and movements used during fireground operations.
Training together gives our crews the opportunity to sharpen their skills while continuing to build teamwork with the departments we work alongside.
Last night, PVFC crews were joined by members of Delaware Valley Volunteer Fire Co. for a hands-on training night focused on ladder operations and firefighter rescue.
Crews reviewed how to throw and position ground ladders before working through several scenarios, including VES (Vent, Enter, Search) and the Denver Drill. VES gave members the opportunity to practice entering from a ladder to search a room, while the Denver Drill challenged crews to work together to remove a downed firefighter from a tight space.
Practicing these skills together helps crews build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and become more comfortable working through challenging situations they may face on the fireground.
Thank you to Delaware Valley Fire Company for joining us for a great night of training
Just before 11:00 PM on Friday, July 31st, Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched to the 6700 block of Old Easton Road for the report of a barn fire. PVFC crews arrived on scene and quickly went to work, making an aggressive attack to extinguish the fire before it could spread further throughout the structure. Additional fire companies and tanker task force units from surrounding departments responded to assist with firefighting operations and ensure an adequate water supply. We appreciate everyone's help and are grateful for the continued support of our mutual aid partners.
