Fire Chief Michael Spielman and Department
President Tim Baldwin |
The Buchanan Valley Volunteer Fire Department is
Adams County's youngest fire department. The
Department was organized in 1979 and started
answering 911 emergency calls in March of 1985.
We provide emergency services to the residents
of Franklin Township and the surrounding area.
BVVFD averages 350 emergency responses each
year. We currently protect the Township with
four pieces of apparatus for fire and medical
emergencies. Our apparatus consists of a 2008
Pierce Arrow XT Engine Tanker, a 1991 Pierce
Arrow Engine Tanker, a 1975 Dodge Brush Truck,
and a 2000 Ford F550
Swab Special Unit used for Rescue and Medical
Emergencies. With the constant need for vehicle
maintenance and upgrading of our apparatus and
equipment, we hold many fundraisers throughout
the year. Members and non-members are encouraged
to help with and/or patronize these events. In
2001 we constructed a 10,000 square foot
Activities Hall to hold our Fund Raising events
in. This Hall is also available to rent for
your special occasions such as, wedding
receptions, anniversaries, parties, family
reunions, etc. Our members stay very busy with
training and fundraising so that we can provide
you with excellent emergency service in your
time of need. Our slogan reflects the Department
very well - "Neighbors Helping Neighbors". For
information on volunteering or questions
about the Department, please contact Chief
Michael Spielman or President Linda Spielman
at 717-677-9234. |
