There are a limited number of detectors available, and we will not be able to serve everyone who applies.

In April, 2008 we received a $67,488.00 FEMA grant to purchase a safety trailer, fire engine robot and "SparkyŽ" costume. These teaching aids will be partly funded by a collaboration of the Northern Lehigh Emergency Services which consists of Emerald, Friedens, Slatedale, Slatington and Walnutport Fire Departments, Slatington and Walnutport Police Departments and Northern Valley EMS. The safety trailer was delivered October 1st, 2008.
On November 14, 2008 our department was awarded a FEMA grant in the amount of $261,250 to purchase an interface pumper. This new vehicle replaced our aging attack pumper and tanker. The new pumper was delivered September 3, 2009. Pictures of the unit are here.
