Around 1200 hours today, township companies along with companies 14 and 23 were dispatched to the 200 Block of Wallingford Ave for a house fire. Engine and Squad 65 were quickly on the street after dispatch. MICU 23 arrived and reported smoke throughout the house. Engine 65 arrived as the first due engine and stretched a hand line to the front door while Squad 65 secured a water supply. Crews from 65 and 23 located a fire behind the oven and in the walls. The fire was quickly knocked and placed under control. Assistant 65A had the Wallingford Ave command.
Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers for their service. I only wish I could get a list of what companies (i.e. Stations) represent which communities so they can also be acknowledged. Back in the day it was "Garden City Fire Company" Now it is Station ##. So an old-timer former smoke-eater, who only knows names, not station numbers, is in the dark!.
Good job!!
Today several of our members attended the Memorial Service for Past President Lawrence “Larry” Luder. Larry was a member of the Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. - Station 14 for 50+ years. He will be deeply missed by all.
Thank you ,Garden City for sharing.
This morning around 0745 hours, township companies along with companies 14, 73, 23, and RIT 45 were dispatched to the 900 Block of Twyckenham Rd for a reported house fire. Companies arrived on scene with a 2 story single family home under construction with nothing evident from the exterior. As crews made entry into the home, they found the house charged with smoke on all floors. A fire was found on the first floor common area and was quickly extinguished. Crews remained on scene for about 2 hours. Assistant 65A had command.
The fire is currently under investigation by the Fire Marshall’s office.
Tonight, along with staffing the 6th district duty engine, the engine and squad stood by at the The Springhaven Club-Golf/Dining/Banquets Country Club for their Labor Day fireworks. The Engine handled one call in Brookhaven for a fire alarm.
Heard, and saw them from my backyard.
Scared my dogs over in penn hills
That was a lot of fireworks!

Just before 2000 hours last night, the house fire assignment was dispatched to the 100 Block of Griffith St in Upland. Engine 65 with a crew of 5 made the response. Units arrived on scene with nothing evident from the exterior. As crews entered the house, they were met with an odor and haze of smoke. After investigating, crews located a fire in the attic. The fire was quickly extinguished and units overhauled to check for any further extension. Chief 57 had the command.
Nice job guys.
We would like to send our condolences to the Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. - Station 14 on the passing of Past President Laurence “Larry” Luder. Please keep the members of station 14 and Larry’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. RIP

Over the last 48 hours, our members have handled 20+ emergencies. Last night around 2200 hours, township companies were dispatched to the 300 Block of Media Parkway for reported house fire. Engine 65 arrived to find nothing evident from the exterior. As crews made entry into the house, they found smoke throughout the house and located a fire in the kitchen. A line was placed in service and the fire was quickly knocked down and the assignment was scaled back. Assistant 65 had the command.
As always you guys are there to answer the call. Thank you all for you continued dedication and service to the residents of the township!
Good Job Guys!
