Big news for our Valley communities. The Distant Area Volunteer Fire Department, New Bethlehem Fire Company #1, and Hawthorn Fire Department are rolling out a BLOCKBUSTER mutual aid reorganization 🤝🚨
📅 Effective February 1, 2026, all three Redbank Valley fire departments will be dispatched together for every fire call. This unified approach will reduce response times, increase manpower, and strengthen protection for our communities day and night 🌙☀️
Chiefs and command staff met to establish new box alarms to support this enhanced cooperation, marking a powerful new chapter in Valley-wide fire service 💪🚒
