We hope your flag is flying today! Ours is everyday. Happy Flag Day! In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; on August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. #uptdfes

🐶🐱Pet owners, we know your camera roll is 90% your pet… and 10% blurry dinner pics.
Good news: all those selfies with your dog, cat, or chaos-loving lizard? They’re not just for likes, they can actually help prove ownership if you & your pet get separated during an emergency.

So yes, go ahead and take another selfie. For safety reasons, of course. Definitely not because your pet is the cutest thing alive.

These quick‑trial evaluations help ensure pilots maintain strong fundamentals—aircraft control, safety checks, & consistent operational proficiency. We were joined by FAA‑licensed Remote Pilots from the @UpperProvPolice, Lower Providence Twp Police & Friendship Fire Co SAR team.

Drone technology has become an essential tool across public safety—supporting search & rescue missions, assisting law enforcement during critical incidents, and providing real‑time aerial awareness at large fire scenes. A big thank‑you to UPT Police Sgt. Solorio for coordinating

Mon 6/1 2pm: @ConstellationEG will test sirens around Limerick Clean Energy Center (formerly Limerick Gen. Station). There is no emergency or cause for concern. In a real emergency, sirens are not a signal to evacuate, but a warning to tune to an Emergency Alert TV/radio station

At 8:03 a.m. Friday, Squad 68 (C Platoon) was dispatched to the 100 block of Market St in the Providence Town Center for a reported gas odor/leak inside a commercial building. A fog/haze was also reported inside, prompting the incident to be upgraded to a building fire response.

Squad 68 had responded to the same address the previous night at 10:03 p.m. for a similar concern. No fire was found at either incident. Concrete dust from saws & gas‑powered tools being used in an adjacent vacant suite activated the alarms and created the reported conditions.
