Milford Township Volunteer Fire Company No. 1

At 4:20 am MTVFC was dispatched to the area of Rt 663 and Brinkman Rd for an auto extrication. Crews from MTVFC and West End Fire Company, Quakertown PA extricated 1 patient from the vehicle. Later in the morning Engine 57 filled the skating pond located at Allentown Rd and Mill Rd. Temperatures in the teens have made a quick start at freezing the pond. Enjoy!

Harold was very well known in the community and will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time.

It’s important to have smoke alarms in your home. Fire research has demonstrated that with today’s modern furnishings, fires can spread much more rapidly than in the past when more natural materials were used. Because of this, having a sufficient number of properly located smoke alarms is essential to maximize the amount of available escape time. Smoke alarms should be tested twice a year (minimum) and they need to be replaced every 10 years. Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms save lives! If you live in Milford Township and are in need of smoke alarms please dm us or email [email protected]. We will install them for you! If you don’t live in the township we can help you get in contact with the right department.

A good reminder

Fire, EMS, Police, DispatchersWe are here to help, they are here to help us.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town the fire siren echoed blaring its sound. The firefighters came running from far and from near, and raced to the trucks quickly donning their gear. And I in my bunkers my boots and my hat jumped to the engine to see where the fire's at. Down at the corner of Main and Oak, the dispatcher informed us of a house filled with smoke. ... Smoke poured from the sides from up and from down yet up on the roof there was none to be found. So up to the rooftop we raised up Tower 57 and climbed to the top to see what was the matter. I came to the chimney and what did I see, but a fellow in red stuck past his knees. Well we tugged and we pulled until he came out then he winked with his eye and said with a shout. "These darn newfangled chimneys they make them too small for a fellow as I not skinny at all." With a twitch of his nose he dashed to his sleigh and called to his reindeer, "AWAY now, AWAY." As we rolled up our hoses he flew out of sight, saying "God bless our firefighters" and to all a good night. -Author Unknown
