Good Evening everyone,
We have been requested by the Delaware County Director of Emergency Services to close our building to all social and none essential gatherings. With that being said, the fundraising event for Boyer Strong is being postponed until further notice. We appreciate all of the support and donations that have been collected to date. With the current emergency situation, the interest of the public health is our utmost concern. Please continue to follow the Garden City Fire Company page along with the Boyer Strong page for further updates.
REMINDER TO ALL: As we prepare to change our clocks tonight, let’s not forget about changing our smoke detector batteries as well!
In addition to our regularly scheduled training night, Engine 65 had been assigned the 6th District Duty Engine. Crews participated in a mini obstacle course that was designed to simulate a Search and Rescue Assignment along with a MAYDAY situation. During the training, Duty Engine 65 had also made the response to Morton Borough (Morton-Rutledge Fire Company) for a building fire investigation and Brookhaven Borough (Brookhaven Fire Co. Station 52 Delco, Pa) for a gas leak.
This video is proof that having WORKING smoke detectors and an escape plan saves lives. Please take the time to check your smoke detectors and have an escape plan for you and your family.
While staffing the 6th District Duty Engine, crews took advantage of the nicer weather and participated in ground ladder evolutions.
Units are clearing an electrical investigation. Units were on scene for roughly 30 minutes.
Also on scene were Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. - Station 14, Brookhaven Fire Co. Station 52 Delco, Pa, South Media Fire Company, and Media Fire Hook and Ladder #1 - Station 23
I saw this in progress from an adjacent property and wish to commend everyone for their response. It was impressive to see that in the early afternoon there were so many who were able to respond. Thank you all for your outstanding volunteer service to our community!
God bless u all
As of tonight, The Garden City Fire Company will be carrying Naloxone (Narcan) on our apparatus to help fight the Opioid crisis. Thanks to the Delaware County District Attorney Office for providing us with this life saving medication to better serve Nether Providence Township.
Tonight 30 members participated in a training that is focused on recognizing the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose, and the administration of Naloxone.
Again, thank you to the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office and D.A. Jack Stollsteimer for providing us with this lifesaving medication.

You know this hits home for me and it really means a lot that instead of hiding behind the stigma you are providing hope for the community. Addiction can happen to ANYONE and EVERYONE deserves a chance to live. 💙
I believe you and Chester Fire Department are the first non EMS departments to be carrying Naloxone.
Thank God for narcan
