Welcome to Garden City Fire Company
The Garden City Fire Co. No.1 incorporated in 1944, provides fire protection for Nether Providence Township, Rose Valley Borough and it’s surrounding communities. Our company along with our sister company South Media Fire Co. No.1 comprise the Nether Providence Township Fire Department of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
Just after 1900 hours last night, companies were dispatched to the 800 block of Putnam Blvd for a reported building fire. The calling party advised that there was some sort explosion in the basement and it was filling up with smoke. Chief 65 arrived and reported a 2 story apartment building with nothing evident from the alpha side. As a 360 was being completed, smoke was evident from the bravo side. Engine 65 arrived, secured their own water supply, and stretched a hand line to the basement of the apartment. Crews from the Engine and Ladder located a fire in an electrical box extending into the wall. A dry chemical extinguisher was used to put out the fire and crews began opening up to check for extension. Minimal extension was found and ventilation was then done. Crews operated on scene for approximately 2 hours. Chief 65 had the command
Today the Ladder traveled over to Mother of Providence Regional Catholic School to visit with some of the students there for our first day of fire prevention activities. The students received a short lecture on Fire saftey and then got a chance to see some of the equipment we use. During the visit, the ladder was dispatched to assist Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. - Station 14 on a reported apartment fire on Dartmouth Ave. Ladder 65 quickly made the response and arrived on scene with engine 14. Crews located unattended cooking and the assignment was scaled back for ventilation. The ladder then returned back to another of Providence to finish up.
awwwwwwww firefighter tom! that's so cute <3
Thank you for visiting today!
Thanks so much for taking the time to come and visit our school today 👨🚒 My class loved it, especially when you had to leave and fight a “real fire” and then came back. We appreciated it so much and thanks for all you do! My son, Landon, also loved it and cannot stop talking about the firetruck;)
Last night for drill, members received part 1 of a 2 part Mayday class. The class was taught by Instructor Mark Morrissey. The first hour was a lecture on maydays and then the last hour was a hand on portion with out SCBA’s. Next week will be part 2 and will include more in-depth mayday scenarios.
Just before drill last night, the assignment was dispatched to I476 SB at mile marker 3.0 for an accident with entrapment. Engine, Utility, and Chief 65 were quickly on the street. Company 65 arrived on scene and corrected the location to mile marker 3.9. Chief 65 reported a 3 vehicle accident negative entrapment. Crews from the engine assisted with patient care and securing the hazards on the highway. Units cleared in about 30 minutes.
