A toll-free number has been established by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission for the public to report suspected pollution incidents or fish kills. By calling 1-855-FISH-KIL (1-855-347-4545) the public is able to quickly alert PFBC staff to suspected environmental incidents.

This hotline is to be used only for reporting suspected cases of pollution or fish kills and is not meant for general inquires related to license sales, boat registrations or other agency issues. Callers using the hotline will be directed to the PFBC's Bureau of Law Enforcement in Harrisburg, where staff will answer calls from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.Calls received after hours or on weekends will be sent to a voice mailbox where the caller can leave a message. PFBC staff will review voice messages and respond as soon as possible.If someone spots a suspected incident and believes it is an immediate threat to public safety or the environment, they should dial 911 or the Department of Environmental Protection's emergency number at 1-800-541-2050.
