Just before 2:00pm the Truck, Engine 3, and the Assistant Chief were alerted for a house fire in Cranberry's first due. The truck was first on the road and arrived as the second due truck taking on first due truck responsibilities on the fire floor. Crews on the interior truck crew made the fire floor and found the fire for 21's engine company. The exterior truck crew secured utilities, ladder the building, and vented the roof. Lt 21-2 had command and Chief 42-2 had ops on the fire floor. Good work to the companies on scene for a quick stop and holding it to the room of origin.

The Adams Area Fire District would like to thank the Supervisors and Council of Adams, Mars, Seven Fields, and Valencia Boro for the continued support in 2013. With your help and guidance we have provided an amazing Emergency Service for our community. We look forward to a positive and exciting year. We would also like to thank our Mutual Aid companies and EMS services for without you our job becomes much harder. A special thanks goes out to the Residents and Businesses that support us through our Fund Drive. This is an important part of making sure we have the funds to provide our services. Your donation is important so ask your neighbors, Do you Donate? Most important we thank our families. When the alarm sounds we drop what we are doing whether it is Thanksgiving dinner, opening Christmas gifts with the kids, or just spending time together. As volunteers we took an oath the protect our community to the best of our abilities. Therefore, our families suffer so we can respond to an emergency for one of our residents. We are PROUD to be 100% VOLUNTEER. Thank You for your support.

The Adams Area Volunteers finished the year off last night with a small oven fire in the first due. This brings the final count to 736 calls for the 2013 year. We are very excited to see what 2014 has in store for us.

Just prior to 1600 hours, Butler County Communication sent companies 42, 19, 21, 228, and Medic 51 to the 300 block of Warwick Drive in Seven Fields for a smell of something burning in the basement of a dwelling. Engine 42 was on the road quickly and arrived assuming first due engine company responsibilities while securing their own water supply. Tower 21 arrived next and assumed first due truck responsibilities in front of the address. Crews quickly located the source to be a bad ballast on a light and the assignment was scaled back quickly. T42, R21, E228-2, and Squad 42-2 were also on scene.
