Manheim Township Fire Rescue

Buckwalter Road is closed for an extended period of time between Sarsen Drive and Snyder Road due to a construction site accident.

MTPD and MTFR are coordinating with PPL to restore power to the community.

MTFR’s leadership development continues to grow as Fire Captain Geoffrey Miller graduated from the 2026 Leadership Lancaster Core Program during a ceremony held last evening at the Eden Resort.

Leadership Lancaster has played an important role in developing leaders within MTFR by strengthening skills that provide long-term benefits to both the organization and the community. This aligns with Leadership Lancaster’s mission to activate people to lead with purpose and integrity, creating lasting positive change throughout the community.

Previous MTFR graduates of the Leadership Lancaster program include Fire Chief Scott Little, Fire Captains Christopher Wertz, Daniel Bezek, and Daniel Wagaman.

Congratulations to Captain Miller on this outstanding accomplishment and continued commitment to leadership and service!

The event was sponsored by UPMC, and MTFR staff had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Dan Bledsoe (Pennsylvania EMS Director) and Steven Lyle (Retired Executive Director of the Emergency Health Services Federation).

Assistant Chief Krichten stated, “It is our privilege to support and recognize EMS providers who have dedicated so many years of service to the betterment of others and their well-being.”
