Marshalls Creek Fire Company

==About==
The Marshalls Creek Fire Company is located in the beautiful mountain region of the Poconos in northeast Pennsylvania. 
== 1964 explosion ==
Shortly after 4:00 AM on June 26, 1964, the community of Marshalls Creek was the site of a dynamite truck incident. The Marshalls Creek Volunteer Fire Company was called to a tractor-trailer fire on the northbound side of Route 209. Just as firefighters arrived to find the burning trailer, which at the time had been abandoned by the driver, the flames spread to the trailer's cargo of nitrocarbonitrate (the oxidizing ingredient in fertilizer), partially gelatin dynamite and blasting caps. Minutes after arriving on scene the trailer exploded and killed a nearby resident, a passing motorist, and another truck driver who had spotted the fire including 3 firefighters and injuring 8 others causing a crater and destroying pieces of apparatus. This event was the catalyst for the creation of the national placarding system and Emergency Response Guidebook for any trucks carrying potentially hazardous cargo, through the federal Department of Transportation.
