Smoke Detector Program
Shavers Creek Fire Co. is participating in a program with the PA State Fire Commissioners Office and Altoona Fire Dept to help distribute and install smoke detectors in homes in our community. You may have seen this advertised on WTAJ and WJAC TV stations and radio programs. We have 55 Kidde brand detectors to give out and install. These smoke detectors have a TEN-year battery! We will install the detectors for you.
The building codes require a smoke detector in every bedroom and on every floor of your house. If your house needs more detectors or yours are more than ten years old please contact us. Due to the limited number of smoke detectors priority will be given to homes that don't have any. These are free and there is no charge for us to install them. This is only a small token in return for all that you do for us. We are here to assist our community in all different ways.
Please don't hesitate to contact us.
You can contact Pat Topper at detectors@shaverscreekfire.com or

Our Quest For A New Station
As some of you know Shavers Creek fire station started as a two-story one-room schoolhouse. Over the years we have added to the existing structure and today it has many problems. Every rain we have water running through the meeting room and have had to repair the concrete pad the apparatus park on. We have applied for a federal grant for $1.4 Million. I know that sounds like allot of money for a small town, but its a federal grant and with that come a lot of regulations. The biggest factor to the cost is we are required to pay the contractor prevailing wage. This is a set dollar amount for different trades wages, it is also known as the Davis-Bacon Act.
Do You Want To Be A FIREFIGHTER?
Shavers Creek Fire Company is always looking for new people. However you don’t have to be a “Firefighter” to help. There is a lot that goes into your community fire department. The fire department is a small business, so it has all the things that go with a business. We have garbage bills, phone bills, and a lot of administrative issues. We are always looking for “Firefighters” but also have many needs for other talents, such as Fire Police, financial administrators, and skilled trades. We apply for at least two grants a year, organize all our fundraisers, and maintain our buildings; our members who may also be "Firefighters" do all of these tasks. We often refer to members as "Firefighters", however not everyone performs firefighting duties. Please stop in and get to know how you may help. Our meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month at 7:30pm in the Shavers Creek fire hall. We will be glad to see you there.
