The three volunteer fire companies providing mutual aid to Towamensing are hoping a night in the township might help residents to better know the people protecting their community.

Earlier this summer, township supervisors decided to enlist the help of three neighboring municipalities — Franklin Township, Polk Township and Aquashicola — for all fire responses in the township in an effort to alleviate issues raised by declining volunteer turnout.

“Franklin, Polk and Aquashicola are very strong fire companies,” Penny Kleintop, chairwoman of the Towamensing board of supervisors, said in August. “They have the volunteers. They have a lot of experience.”

On Monday evening, those three companies will host a meet and greet in the parking lot of Country Junction, located on Interchange Road. The event, which begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 8:30, will also feature fire equipment and a training trailer, where children and adults can learn more about home safety.

All township residents are welcome to attend.
