TEMPLE, Texas (July 9, 2025) – In an effort to prioritize the health and safety of first responders, Temple Fire and Rescue has temporarily relocated the crew of Fire Station 2 (1710 East Avenue H) to Fire Station 1 (210 North Third Street) following a facility maintenance issue.

Out of an abundance of caution, Station 2 personnel and equipment have been moved to Station 1 while the affected building undergoes assessments and professional remediation.

“The safety of our firefighters is our top priority,” Chief Mitch Randles said. “This move is a temporary but necessary step while we work to resolve the issue as quickly and safely as possible.”

Despite the closure of Station 2, there are no changes to coverage areas, and emergency response coverage throughout the city remains fully operational. However, due to increased travel distance, response times may vary slightly depending on the call location. 

Remediation efforts will occur in conjunction with a planned remodel of Station 2, which is expected to take approximately 14 to 18 months. Temporary living quarters for fire personnel will be installed as soon as possible to support operations during this transitional period. 

To reach Temple Fire and Rescue for a non-emergency, please contact (254) 298-5596.

The Christiana (PA) Fire Company announced July 9, 2025, that two individuals in separate vehicles broke into Station 52 and stole rescue tools valued at more than $50,000. This is an open police investigation.

Here’s the press release the fire company issued:

At 3:23 a.m. Thursday, June 12, 2025, at Station 52, two individuals in separate vehicles entered the parking lot and proceeded to break through the front door. Unfortunately, vital rescue tools valued at more than $50,000 were stolen in this effort. The vehicles were last seen traveling south on PA Route 41 at the intersection of PA Route 10 in Cochranville, PA, heading toward the Kennett Square/Avondale area. At the time of the incident, the station was unstaffed, and the building was secured as expected. No personnel were present at the time of the incident.

The equipment was out of service for a very short period (mutual aid covered) so that law enforcement could conduct its initial investigation. We did not receive any calls for emergency assistance during this time, and we were 100% available for dispatch directly after this task.

Per law enforcement, this is an emerging criminal trend on a larger scale where criminals will use these tools to commit further crimes such as cutting into stolen ATM machines, so they are asking our residents and business owner/operators to stay vigilant and notify them of any suspicious behavior. If you see something suspicious, please report it.

We have provided images below of the individuals and their vehicles. If you have or obtain any additional information regarding this incident, please reach out to Christiana Borough Police Chief Brian Smyth at (610) 593-5199.
