A Few Notes about Our APP…

 Brad Dauberman    January 9, 2019    No Comments

This is a quick update and explanation on some of the features of the Shrewsbury Fire Mobile App.

If you downloaded our App, you probably received a bunch of Alerts today that didn’t make much sense.  The primary reason for our App was a backup alerting function for our Fire Fighters.  Our Fire Fighters carry a pager most of the time, and rely on an App called Active 911.

The Active 911 app relays information from the York County 911 to Fire Fighters’ smart phones.  When there is a breakdown in the system (anywhere from York 911 to the Active 911 computer or our own smart phones) the Fire Fighter’s phone will not Alert.

Carrying a pager AND having a second alerting mechanism ensures that we get notified and get responers moving towards the emergency.   This morning, there were issues getting messages out to Active 911, however, our App still provided a secondary method to notify our members of an emergency.

Some have asked about the APP not providing additional information.  The Alerts You get are the same ones We get.  The Shrewsbury Fire App is limited to 128 characters, so in most cases the only thing cut off is the list of apparatus requested and part of the cross street.

The Shrewsbury Fire App Alerts about 30 seconds after the Fire Fighter’s pager Alerts.  So, as soon as we get it, you get it.  This is automated, so we will not be sending manual updates via the Alert feature.  Our Facebook will provide further info should it be warranted.

  • The Weather Tab provides current data from the weather station mounted on top of the Fire Station.
  • The home screen provides instructions for changing or silencing the Alert tone.
  • Live Audio will link you to Fire and Police Audio in York County.
  • The cost of the app goes directly into supporting the fees associated with providing the app.
  • We invite you to let us know if there are any features you would like added.

Thank you for your continued support.

This morning 61 crews removed 11,100 lbs of gear from Rescue 61 (aka: Squadzilla).

Rescue 61 has been sold and is being prepared for the next owners. We currently have Engine 61-1 loaded with rescue tools. While we await the new E-One Rescue, we are going to purchase a used rescue to use in the interim.

Our goal is to continue to provide top-notch rescue services to our residents and the thousands that travel I-83. To do that, we will have a lot of moving parts over the next several years, but rest assured, we will continue to be here for you.

I don’t understand why are you selling your rescue truck before your new one arrives only to have to buy a different used truck in the interim can you clarify please.

Any idea what the new one will be named?

Please tell me you're keeping the Air Horns!!?

That rescue was a beast.sad to see it go

Great news. Thank you!

Train horns!! HornBlasters.com

Where is this rescue going? Another FD I hope.

That is a amazing rescue truck sad to see it go!

Shrewsbury Volunteer Fire Company Rescue 905 from Millersville Borough in Lancaster County is for sale too. I think it has a similiar set up as yours.

Similar to what New Franklin Fire Company in Franklin county did when they got their new truck (Da' Big stick II) to replace the one that rolled. (Da' Big stick)

Awesome 👍

Mrs Maddie Schaefer is so wonderful to work with. As a first time investor, I wasn’t completely sure of the process but Mrs Maddie Schaefer helped me through it all and I made a profit with an investment. she was also extremely helpful in coordinating the withdrawal process. I highly recommend Mrs Maddie Schaefer to everyone looking to start up an investment. These are her contact details Email: maddieschaefer6@gmail.com WhatsApp:+1 (484)6298691
