Our Equipment
We currently have two fully equipped canteen units, two shelter vehicles and one transport van. Below are some pictures with some information on each of the units. On most all calls, both a Canteen and a Shelter unit are dispatched. The Canteens supply food and drink and the Shelters provide a restroom and an area to sit. Should you desire to tour our facility and our units, use the contacts page (click here) and someone will get back to you.
Unit #41-6
Our newest canteen is a 2019 Freightliner Chassis. It is equipped with two upright freezers along with two refrigerators. It also features a flat top gas grill, a four-burner stove, two industrial coffee urns along with heating and air-conditioning for better all-season operations. This canteen was possible through donations from the people we serve (emergency service providers including fire companies, rescue units, etc.) as well as donations from the general public in the primary areas we serve. We thank each and every one for making this state-of-the-art unit possible.
Unit #41-8
This is the other unit which we alternate with the newest unit in responding to calls. A 2011 Freightliner chassis, it has two refrigerators and two freezers which enable us to get on the road quicker since we keep food items loaded, ready to go with the exception of a few items and, of course, personnel to man it! It also features a serve-yourself drink center on the outside for both cold and hot drinks. Since it is air-conditioned and has ceiling vents, it is a much more comfortable vehicle to serve from during inclement weather (high heat or extreme cold).
Unit #41-5
This is one of two Shelter units and is built on a 2025 Freightliner chassis with a diesel generator. The rehab area includes a commode with a sink. This was built per our specifications and includes heat and air conditioning in the rehab area, hot and cold running water, lighting to aid on the scene of calls after dark, emergency lighting and seating for eight (8) adults in the rehab area. This was put in service October 2025. Generally, two members man this truck.
Unit #41-7
This is the other Shelter unit and is a 1999 Chevrolet diesel. Our members did much of the work in building this unit, with a local camping center assisting with installing tanks, a commode and a sink. There is a heated rest area as well in this unit for the emergency workers. Generally, two members man this truck.
Unit #41-3
Last, but definitely not least, is our 2006 GMC Savana Transport van which was donated to us by the now-defunct Ladies’ Auxiliary of the North Penn Goodwill Service. This vehicle is used to transport relief members and/or supplies to the scene.
We welcome anyone to visit us and see the equipment up close and personal! We are generally at the building the first and third Mondays for worknights most months at 7:00 PM and are actively seeking new members.
