The
Silverdale Volunteer Fire Company is looking to increase it's number
of
daytime firefighting personnel to keep pace with the growth in our
community.
Do you work in the Silverdale area and have an employer that would
allow you
to serve the local community? Many employers will still pay their
employees
if they respond to fires and other emergencies during the day
because you are
protecting the area of their business. Do you work at home or are
self
employed and could respond to emergencies during the day? Join a
progressive,
safety oriented fire department that has an excellent retention
program. We
pay for all of your training, yearly physicals, uniforms and many
other things
that will make your service to the Silverdale and Hilltown Township
area a
very rewarding experience. Only available nights and weekends? We
provide
the same initiatives regardless of when you are available. Contact
the
station, stop by any Tuesday night after 7 p.m. or get your
application
started right here on our website. |

'Steer Clear' Law,
Motorist now required to move over or slow down for roadside
incidents
HARRISBURG - A state law that took effect this month
requires Pennsylvania motorist to move over or slow down when
they encounter an emergency scene, traffic stop or disabled
vehicle. The law applies any time an emergency vehicle has its
lights flashing and where roar crews or emergency personnel
have lighted flares, posted signs or tried to warn motorist.
Failure to move over or slow down can result in a summary
offense that carries a fine of up to $250. In addition, fines
will be doubled for traffic violations occurring in these
areas. If that violation leads to a worker being injured, a
90-day license suspension could result.
For more information regarding the "Steer Clear" law visit
PennDot's website.
