HAMILTON TOWNSHIP BURN BAN LIFTED

Per the recommendation of Steve Rabine, Fire Chief, United Hook & Ladder Co. #33, the burn ban in Hamilton Township has been lifted, effective immediately.

Recent snow and rain have significantly improved conditions, allowing us to safely remove the restrictions.

We appreciate your cooperation during the burn ban and encourage continued caution when burning outdoors to ensure the safety of our community.

ADAMS COUNTY LAUNCHES 911 TEXTING SERVICE

Text-to-911 is a valuable service allowing the public to send emergency messages via text.

Just like with a voice call, 911 telecommunicators will gather essential details about your emergency, including location and those involved.

While texting allows for communication, it’s important to note that it may take time. Please be patient and provide clear, concise answers. Voice calls remain preferable for quicker response.

Text-to-911 is particularly useful for individuals with speech or hearing impairments, or in situations where making noise may escalate danger, such as home invasions, domestic violence, or abductions.


CHANGE OF SERVICE:

Effective October 1st, ambulance service to the East Berlin Area from Northeast Fire Co (formerly known as Liberty Fire Co.) will now be provided by Community Life Team EMS. For all emergency calls, please dial 911. For non-emergency inquiries, please contact us at 717-236-5947.

Emergency calls will continue to be dispatched from the Northeast Fire Co on Locust Street, East Berlin.

Thank you for your attention to this update.
