Pema encourages Pennsylvanians to prepare for Hurricane season
THANK YOU
On June 1, UMT received a call from Mr. Carl Mantz, who represents the 187th District(4 of the 5 voting
Districts in UMT are in his district) informing us that the PA DCED (Department of Community and
Economic Development) has awarded our Township a grant of $5,000.00. These funds were requested to
purchase a thermal imaging camera for Station 56 which will be our new Emergency Services Building.
This camera enables our firefighters to determine whether there are life forms in a smoke-filled
room or building. (We have these cameras at Station 8 and 25.) UMT wishes to thank Representative
Mantz and his staff for their assistance in securing funds to purchase this camera which has the
potential for saving the lives of people, pets and livestock.
