Winter Weather Hazard Simplification: Millcreek Township Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Commission In January 2017, the Millcreek Township Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance to create a Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Commission. The Commission was designed to advise the Millcreek Township Supervisors on funding, staffing, and operational matters involving the Millcreek Township Fire Departments and to create a vision for the future of Fire and EMS services in Millcreek Township. While a Fire & EMS Commission is not a new concept in Pennsylvania, it is new to Millcreek Township. Progress is being made by finding the solutions to the challenges that emergency services and our volunteer fire 20 Millcreek departments face to ensure that our residents are kept safe. The Millcreek Township Fire & EMS Commission meetings are scheduled for the third Thursday of each month in the Millcreek Township Assembly Room at 7:00pm. All Millcreek Township Committee and Commission Meetings are open to the general public. For additional information, please contact Millcreek Township at 814-833-1111. Please continue to support your local volunteer fire departments as their ability to ensure your safety depends on your donations!
