 <![CDATA[Jim Dietrich from Brown-Daub Wind Gap brought over a 2012 Chevy Volt for the Slate Belt's emergency responders to take a look at.Jim Dietrich and Jason Kornhausl an ASE Certified Volt Technician gave an overview of where all the electrical components are located and where to cut and where not to cut if the emergency responders ever encounter a Chevy Volt in an automobile accident.&nbsp; The intent of the training session is to provide information to help 
responders understand the emergency situations involving Chevrolet Volt 
vehicles in the safest manner possible.&nbsp; The training session also contains a general description of how the 
Chevrolet Volt vehicle systems operate, identifies the location of the 
unique badging, and included illustrations of the unique components. The
 training session also described methods of disabling the high voltage 
system and identified cut zone information.&nbsp; The Chevrolet Volt is a 
front-wheel drive, four-passenger electric vehicle with extended-range 
capability. The vehicle is propelled exclusively by electric motors. The
 Volt uses high voltage energy that is stored in the high voltage 
battery as its primary power source. However, once the battery capacity 
is reduced, the gasoline engine drives a generator which produces 
electricity to power the vehicle.We would like to "THANK" Brown-Daub Wind Gap for the training session and Wind Gap Fire Company, Lookout Fire Company, and Washington Twp. Vol. Fire Co. for attending the training session.&nbsp; **Photo's courtesy of Brown Daub Wind Gap's facebook page**...]]>

Courtesy of the Express-Times Letters to the Editor - September 28, 2011Firefighters were true professionals

The value of our volunteer fire department was confirmed to me at 3 a.m. Aug. 8, 2011.




I had a fire at my farmhouse on Route 191 in Plainfield
Township. Thanks to the men and women who represent the Plainfield Township and
Washington Township volunteers for fighting the fire and also Upper Nazareth
and Lower Mount Bethel for being there on standby with their tankers I was
spared total loss.

The response time was phenomenal, estimated at 20 minutes.
And, once the volunteers arrived they began to work in a highly professional
manner.

The location of the fire was immediately determined and an
action plan was implemented without delay. The volunteers worked as a team and
the situation was under control in no time.

Thanks to their outstanding efforts me and my tenants
avoided a serious loss of property and personal treasures.

The fire department volunteers are truly professional in
training and attitude. These folks are a tremendous resource to our
communities.

We need to support, encourage and thank them at every
opportunity. Also a huge thank you to the Red Cross for coming out and checking
to see if there was anything they could do for me or my tenants. They are truly
a dedicated and very helpful.ROGER KEAT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Plainfield Township...]]>

 	<title>PLAINFIELD ASSISTS NAZARETH WITH STRUCTURE/DWELLING FIRE</title>
  	<category>News</category>
 <link>http://www.plainfieldfireco.com/news/fullstory/newsid/140804</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[Nazareth Fire Chief Dan Keenhold said he had to pull his
firefighters out of a burning home at 135 N. New St. after about 20
minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp; "It was out of
control," he said this afternoon, standing near the smoldering ash of the
cottage home's garage. 

It took more than 100 firefighters and 10 fire companies
about two and a half hours to extinguish the fast-moving fire that destroyed
the Nazareth home.&nbsp; Authorities said the
homeowner, Charles Weisenberger, put a recently used lawnmower into his garage
about 3 p.m.

The lawnmower soon set ablaze the garage adjacent to the
home and the flames spread to a pickup truck, fire officials said. The pickup
then exploded - engulfing the north side of the home.&nbsp;&nbsp; "I heard three explosions," said
Linda Drew, who lives on North Elm Street, one block over from the site of the
fire. "I looked out the window and saw pure, black smoke."



A makeshift camp was set up across the street on the lawn of
132 N. New St., where emergency medical service workers checked firefighters
with stethoscopes and handed them bottled water.&nbsp; Firefighters, feeling the effects of
90-degree heat and a raging fire, dumped bottles of water on their heads. Two
firefighters even submerged their faces in pooling water on the street coming
from a Hecktown Volunteer Fire Co. truck.



"Flames were shooting out the back, out the
front," said Nazareth First Fire Chief John Deutsch, who estimated the
temperature inside the home was more than 200 degrees. 

A crowd of about 40 onlookers was rushed from the scene at
3:55 p.m. as thick black smoke from the home moved like fog through the street,
causing eyes to water and nostrils to burn.&nbsp;
The garage had burned to the ground by 4:15 p.m., but firefighters blasted
water and smashed in the roof of the home with axes for more than an hour. 

At 5:46 p.m., the fire was declared out.&nbsp; Weisenberger laid on the grass of 132 N. New
St. as the fire was declared out, his brown shirt covered in sweat. He declined
to comment. 

Several firefighters and police officers expressed relief
the fire had not spread.&nbsp; "Let's put
it this way: If Nazareth (Fire Department) did not respond so quickly, the
house next door" would have been set on fire, Nazareth police officer Dan
Troxell said. 

The flames caused white paint to bubble on the roof of a
neighboring home.

No serious injuries were reported, but several firefighters
were suffering from heat exhaustion, Nazareth police said.
