Thank you to the members of St. Mary's UCC and all members of the community who invested their time into learning CPR and Stop the Bleed. Our community is safer and better prepared because of YOU!
PVCFC is committed to help everyone be the true First Responders. Be on the lookout for upcoming CPR and Stop the Bleed training with open enrollment for all of our neighbors.

At St. Mary’s UCC, our Safe Church commitment means caring for one another in every way we can. Yesterday, over a dozen members completed CPR/AED and Stop the Bleed training as part of that promise to keep our community safe.

A heartfelt thank‑you to Pleasant Valley Community Fire Company for welcoming us into their training and sharing their expertise!

PVCFC Volunteers spotted at their monthy training. The goal is to raise the ladder above the fire extinguisher without spilling the water balanced on either end of the ladder. This helps bolster equipment familiarization, cribbing techniques, communication, and patience. Plus now we know exactly what to do when encountered with a trapped fire extinguisher out in the real world 😉. A great way to spend a cold and rainy Thursday evening!

After the recent snow storm a crew of 3 CCDFEMS employees and a PVCFC volunteer took to the street in town to clear snow around the fire hydrants. We appreciate the hard work these individuals and their dedication to the residents of the town of Pleasant Valley!

As a reminder to those who live near a fire hydrant, please take some time to clear the snow around the hydrant. In the event of an emergency every second counts.

Around 0530 yesterday morning Pleasant Valley Community Fire Company was alerted for a house fire in the 3500 block of Littlestown Pike. Chief 6 arrived first on scene and reported fire from the 2nd floor. The incident was quickly upgraded to a working fire. Carroll County Volunteers, CCDEFMS staff, and neighboring Pennsylvania Volunteers worked for over 2 hours to extinguish the fire. PVCFC sends it's thanks to the many mutual aid fire departments that came to help as well as our fill-in crews.

The event will be back in February 2027. We regret having to cancel, but the situation does not allow us to adjust with short notice. Please reach out to your ticket seller for more information.
