This morning on Interstate 81, Pennsylvania State Tooper Mike Pahira was stuck and killed in the line of duty by another Tractor Trailer. The Officers and Members of the Strong VFC would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the fallen trooper as well as PSP Frackville and Troopers across the Commonwealth. Our thoughts are also with the First Responders who were on the incident this morning.

We would like to remind everyone that if you see emergency vehicles(Police, Fire, EMS, Tow Trucks, PennDOT) on the road please slow down and move over. We want to come home to our families too.

At 1323 hours today, units were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with a possible entrapment in the area of the former Boylan’s Service Station.

Engine 25 responded with a crew of two.

During the incident, several motorists failed to follow directions from responders who were managing traffic on scene. Noncompliance in these situations creates unnecessary hazards for emergency personnel and others, and could result in fines or points on your driver’s license.
