Jr. Firefighters require the same safety gear as all other firefighters, but oftentimes at sizes much smaller than adult firefighters. Although most Jr. Firefighters remain with the company, they do grow quickly.

Help us offset the cost of buying additional uniforms and safety gear for these young men and women.

Michael Brent has been a volunteer with Brecknock Township Fire Company for only a year and has been selected as the Fire Police Lieutenant.  Since the Fire Police department is small and resources limited, Michael has purchase many of the high visibility and cold weather garments needed for his own safety in order to keep our firefighters and the public safe.

Donations for Michael will go towards purchasing company branded gear that meets current NFPA guidelines.

Neil is the Fire Police Captain for Brecknock Township Fire Company. His primary focus at BTFC is Fire Police and Equipment Driver. In order to be best protected while serving the community, he requires the following special equipment.

Cold Weather Hi-Viz Hat $25
Cold Weather Hi-Viz Jacket $125
Cold Weather Hi-Viz Pants $60
Cold Weather Hi-Viz Gloves $25

It is time to replace Engine 72.

The engine is 20 year old Pierce/Freightliner with a 1000 Gallon Water Tank, 30 Gallon Class “A” Foam Tank, and a 1500GPM Hale Pump.

As you can see the cabin can only carry two firefighter which is a sever limitation considering the driver becomes the pump operator and that leaves one other firefighter during the response.

Upgrading to the 2020 KME truck will provide XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX as well as seating for 5 responders, which will improve response times and the effectiveness of the Brecknock Township Fire Company.

A contract has been signed with KME to build the new engine and we will finance a portion of the $630,000.00 cost of the truck. There will also be ancillary items needed to outfit the truck completely like radios, medical kits, and more.

We are asking our community to help us raise $63,000.00 towards the cost of the new engine. Will you join us?

Computers, software, and other technologies are an integral part of firefighting today. In order to provide timely response we rely on computers, cell phones, and iPads with GPS to get to the scene. And of course there is the office work that requires computer, printers, phones, security, camera, internet, etc. The list goes on as we are a business of volunteers.

We currently own 1 XP, 2 Vista, a one WIN10 desktop, and one WIN10 laptop. We have a multi-function printer, and a laser printer. To put it mildly, we are in need of a complete overhaul.

In leu of monetary donations we are in need of:

2 laptops either with WIN10 or Chrome OS. These will be used for monitoring and logging call responses.

Four displays greater that 22″, does not need to be high resolution but accept HDMI. Three docking stations for the laptops to the monitors.

32-45″ TV to mount in the engine room to view emergency updates.

Three WIN10 laptops. SSD would be great as would 2.3Ghz or better, and 16GB ram, in order to run the software used in creating reporting, and for programming our radios, pagers, etc.

If you have any of these items to donate please contact Michael at mbrent@brecknockfire.com
