COVID-19 Status update

The leadership of the Doylestown Fire Co #1 is in constant contact with Local, County, State and Federal authorities on the continuing COVID-19 outbreak. In order to minimize unnecessary contact, steps have been taken in both stations limiting visitors. We continue to be prepared to respond to any emergency.
 
We urge everyone in our community to take all warnings and directions seriously.  We’re all human, and understand that the necessary changes are difficult.
 
 As we do with all safety and fire prevention messages, we share these prevention messages so that we can come out of this situation in a quicker time-frame.
 
In the meantime, as you’re home with your families, take the time to check on your smoke detectors, making sure they all work. Please do not overload your power cords, surge strips or outlets.
 
We will continue to pass along information as we get it from authorities. Please practice fire prevention and home safety while you are at home
 
Please, stay at home, wash your hands, and stay safe.
