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!!

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.
