***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***
Engine 2210 responded to a CO alarm in Towamensing Trails. When volunteers arrived, they found the residents outside, who were awakened by the alarm and called 911. After crews made entry with their SCBA, they had readings throughout the residence and a very high reading in the garage. After ventilating and investigating, crews found the batteries of the golf cart were to blame. Lead based batteries can release hydrogen gas if charged improperly or if a charging system malfunctions. Fortunately, hydrogen gas can also set off a CO detector. We would like to remind everyone to be please careful with their golf carts and properly follow the instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer. We recommend disconnecting the charger as soon as the battery is charged, not charging batteries overnight and providing plenty of ventilation while charging the battery by opening the garage door or placing the golf cart outside. District 12 and Lehighton ALS also responded.
Engine 2210, Tanker 2236, Rescue 2255, and Engine 2216 with twenty-one volunteers also responded to a reported dwelling fire on Honeysuckle Drive, Bear Creek Lakes. District 12 and Lehighton ALS also responded.

It is with regret that we must inform everyone that we are cancelling the 2020 Santa Run. Due to the climbing cases of COVID-19, we had no choice but to take this step. Last year, we made over 50 stops and helped over 125 children enjoy the special day with their families. With safety being our first priority, we feel it would be irresponsible to jeopardize anyone’s family and possibly hinder our commitment to serving the community both on and off emergency scenes.
