We’re encouraging customers to prepare ahead of dangerously cold temperatures that are expected to impact the Pittsburgh region starting Saturday, Dec. 13, through Monday, Dec. 15. While widespread power outages are not expected, we are increasing staffing and will continue to monitor the forecast.

Here are some simple steps to help you stay informed, safe and prepared:
• Charge all important electronic devices in advance.
• Prepare an emergency kit with non-perishable food, water, medication, first-aid supplies, flashlights and other essentials. Store it in a convenient location.
• If possible, have an alternate source of heat available such as a wood-burning stove or fireplace.
• Call 9-1-1 for any emergency medical issues.
• Report any outages on DLC’s free mobile app or online at https://bit.ly/4jlAbHs.

Remember to also check on your loved ones and neighbors, especially if they’re elderly and/or live alone.

Stay warm and safe, Pittsburgh!

Ben Avon's Public Works team has completed the fall leaf pickup process and has transitioned to snow removal. Any leaves remaining on the curb should be placed in bags for pick-up by Waste Management.
Kudos to the PW team for a great leaf collection season!

Just before midnight on November 28th, Station 148 along with first alarm units were dispatched to the 6800 BLK of Perrysville Ave in Ben Avon, for a reported house fire. Avalon PD and 148 Chief arrived quickly to confirm the report. 148 Engine and 108 Squad arrived simultaneously and initiated an interior attack on the well involved first and second floor. The fire eventually grew to a 2nd alarm. Crews worked for hours to bring the stubborn fire under control, clearing the scene around 6 AM. The Allegheny County Fire Marshal is currently investigating the fire.

No more information regarding the incident will be shared by the Emsworth Volunteer Fire Company.
