Have you registered yet for the Stop, Drop & Run 5k?  We are proud to announce that we have a brand new registration system that makes registration easier than ever.  Click here to register today!

After months of planning, the potential obstacles for the Stop, Drop & Run Obstacle Course have been released. You can check them out here.  As a result of having obstacles, we will be having a wave every fifteen minutes for the course to minimize the wait at obstacles.  If running with a group, please create a team and instruct them to register for the same wave time.  Registration can be completed here.

A special thank you to the Beaver Fire Department in allowing us to set up a table this morning for their 5k/10k to promote the Stop, Drop & Run 5k.  It is partnerships like this that allow our race to be the success that it is every year.

We are proud to announce that MSA, Mine Safety Appliances, has joined us for the third consecutive year.  Mine Safety Appliances is a safety company based in Cranberry Township that produces a wide variety of safety products, including the G1 SCBA, Altair 4X gas detector, E6000 TIC, and Cairns helmet…all of which we use in our department.  It is great to have such a great neighbor in our backyard to support us.

We are so thankful to have a sponsor like Peterson Insurance who will be serving as an Assistant Chief Sponsor for the third year in a row.  Peterson Insurance is a family owned business located in Rochester, PA that serves its clients in the Pittsburgh region.  If you have any insurance questions, please considered calling them to discuss your needs.  Thank you to Amy Siegel and your team for serving as a sponsor again.

We are proud to announce that registration for the 2015 Stop, Drop & Run is now open!

While this is the main source of information for the Stop, Drop & Run 5k we do have other forms of media that can keep you up to date in regards to events with the fire department.  The other website that we maintain is www.monacafire.com.  This website features information about the fire department itself and also the fire calls that we respond to.

The other form of media that we spend a large amount of our time on is our Facebook page.  Due to the ease of posting and updating information we use our page (www.facebook.com/MonacaFD) to post immediate information and up to the minute updates.  This is especially useful for breaking information, evacuations, fire calls, ect.

Beaver County Times reporter Kirstin Kennedy interviewed race director, Chris Shotter, this week in regards to the 2014 Stop, Drop & Run 5k for an article to appear in the Beaver County Times.  The article appeared in the Beaver County Times on 10/8/2014 and detailed the history of the race, the planned events for this year, and our goals for upcoming years.  Thank you to the Beaver County Times and Kirstin Kennedy for featuring us and informing additional people about our race.  The full article can be read here.
