Happy Veteran’s Day to all those who have served and those that continue to do so. Thank you for everything!
Saturday morning, township companies held a joint drill with surrounding departments at the Plush Mill Senior Living Facility. The purpose of the drill was to allow our members and mutual aid companies to go over the building’s fire control center as well as go over some of the obstacles that we will be faced with if there is ever an incident at the facility. Thanks to everyone who came out.
Tonight our membership is enjoying an evening off to celebrate our 75th Anniversary. We would like to thank everyone who came out and special thank you to The Springhaven Club-Golf/Dining/Banquets for once again accommodating us!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I’m sure Chief Al Davis (my dad) was there in spirit.
Congratulations!😀🎶🌠
Crews remained busy this morning handling 4 calls within two hours. The morning started off with reported wires down in the area of Waterville and Brookhaven roads. A short time later companies were dispatched to the 700 block of Kincaid Mills for wires down. Chief 65 arrived and found a power surge in the area with an odor of smoke in several homes as well as an emergency generator that was smoking. The assignment was then upgraded to a building response. Crews checked several houses for any signs of fire or smoke with negative results. The assignment was scaled back to Engine 65. As the engine returned from that call, the building assignment was dispatched to the 400 Block of Rutgers Ave in Swarthmore. Ladder 65 made the response. Companies investigated a power surge to the building with no smoke or fire.
Thank you to all of the men and women of the Garden City Fire Company! As a former volunteer in my youth at my local company each time I hear the siren sound I quickly say: "Please may they be safe..."
Heard all the sirens.
Turning your clocks back an hour this weekend is the perfect reminder to put new batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms! 🔋
Also remember to TEST your alarms once a month to make sure those batteries are working properly.

The officers and members would like to thank St John Chrysostom, Rep. Leanne Krueger and the Knights of Columbus for taking the time to honor first responders today while hosting a Blue Mass.
FYIFuel/Gas odors being reported across Delaware County.
We have received numerous reports of a "fuel" or "gas" odors from many areas within Delaware County.
Our Hazardous Materials Unit is working with local responders, State agencies and industry partners to determine the source.
As of this time, the cause of the odor has not been determined.
I smelled something weird at SHMS today
Our annual golf outing will be getting underway shortly! Thank you to all that donated and all of our participants! We would also like to thank The Springhaven Club-Golf/Dining/Banquets for the hospitality and allowing us to host this event yet again!
Great day for golf! Enjoy!
Mark your calendars! On Wednesday October 23rd, the Garden City Fire Company will be hosting our annual Open House. The event will kick-off at 6:30 PM and will have light refreshments provided! This is a family friendly event as there will be fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars all on display! In addition, anyone ages 14 & older will have the opportunity to apply for membership at the Garden City Fire Company!
Members have been busy the past two days with school visits and fire prevention activities. Yesterday, the engine went over to Mother of Providence Regional Catholic School to speak to their younger kids on fire saftey and they got to check out some of the equipment we carry. Today, Nether ProvidenceElementarySchool took the short walk over to the station to also have a fire saftey talk and check out the equipment. Overall, we’ve had the pleasure to speak to over 400 children in our first due area. Our hope is that these children will take this information home and share it with their families so if there is ever an emergency at home, they will know exactly what to do!
We have officially sold out for our golf outing! We are still accepting Hole Sponsors and prize donations. Contact us on Facebook if you’d like to help support you local fire company!!

This morning around 0930 hours, township companies along with stations 23 and 45 were dispatched to the unit block of Plush Mill Road for a reported house fire. Chief 65 arrived on scene a reported a 2 story single family with nothing evident from side alpha. As Chief 65 completed his 360, he found smoke showing from the basement on the Charlie side. Tac 45 arrived first and stretched a line to the rear. Engine 65 arrived shortly after and secured their water supply. The fire was quickly knocked in the basement with minimal extension. Units remained on scene for about an hour before being released. Chief 65 had the command.
What is the house number please?
Nice job guys!
Just after 2000 hours, township companies along with Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. and EMS were dispatched to the intersection of Brookhaven Road and Putnam BLVD for an accident with injuries. Engine and Squad 65 were both on the street right after dispatch with 8 personnel. Units arrived on scene with a 2 vehicle accident with one on its roof and one subject trapped in the other vehicle. Crews stabilized the vehicle and placed the tools in service. The patient was quickly extricated and turn over to EMS. Lieutenant 65A had the Brookhaven Road command.
Good work to all responders! Drivers please slow down!
So that's what all those Sirens were.
Hard to believe this is a 35 mile per hour road! Slow down! Glad everyone was ok.
