Obituary for Marc D. Sapovits | Marc David Sapovits of Rutledge, PA, age 54, passed away on November 24, 2019. Marc was predeceased by his parents Morris 'Mac' Sapovits Jr. and Mildred (Congleton) Sap...At 1145 hours, township companies were dispatched to their second accident of the day in the area of Waterville Road and Hastings Ave. Crews arrived to find one vehicle on its roof. All occupants self-extricated and were evaluated by EMS. Also on scene were Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. - Station 14, MICU 23 (Media Fire Hook and Ladder #1 - Station 23) and Amb 52 (Brookhaven Fire Co. Station 52 Delco, Pa).
Similar situation @ 1000 hours at Chestnut Parkway and Harvey Road posted above. Two separate incidents less than 2-hours apart and in the same general vicinity... All of us in NP Township should be very thankful for the service provided to our community by dedicated volunteers---not only with fires but with situations such as these.

Just before 1000 hours, township companies were dispatched to the area of Harvey Road and Chesnut Parkway for the report of an accident with vehicle overturned. Engine 65 arrived to find one vehicle on its roof with all occupants out of the vehicle. 1 subject was evaluated by EMS. Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. - Station 14 and Crozer EMS were both on scene to assist.
This doesn't look like Harvey Rd or Chestnut Parkway.

As Holiday Float Weekend approaches, we would like to invite everyone to participate in a friendly holiday competition! Santa paid attention last year and as a result, for this years holiday float, Santa will be keeping his eyes out for the best looking holiday banner or sign as he drives around the neighborhood ! At the conclusion of the Float Weekend, Santa will review all the banners and signs very carefully and choose a winner! Whoever has Santas favorite banner will be rewarded with a free children’s party hosted by Garden City Fire Company. The party will include pizza and drinks furnished by the fire company. Examples from the past years have been attached to give an idea as to what Santa will be looking for! Please like and share to spread the word!

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!😀🎶🌠
