Polk Township Volunteer Fire Company has their sub-station located behind the former Hotel Jonas on Jonas Road. It currently housed their retired 1954 GMC along with an active engine and utility truck.[3]

Hotel Jonas was a big part of the Village of Jonas and had been around for many years until it permanently closed on May 5, 2012.[4] Jonas Snyder purchased the original inn building and surrounding land in 1858 and his family built the existing hotel in 1901. The Jonas Hotel began as a small inn that was known as "Sterner's", a rest stop for early travelers through northeastern Pennsylvania. It was situated on a stagecoach road that connected the southwestern end of the Pocono area with towns to the north such as White Haven and cities of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. The road is presently named State Highway 534.[5]
