Our company along with our sister company South Media Fire Co. No.1 comprise the Nether Providence Township Fire Department of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
Around 0300 hours this morning, Ladder 65 was dispatched on the 2nd alarm to assist Chester City. City units arrived with smoke showing and reported entrapment. Ladder 65 arrived and crews were put to work extinguishing hot spots and overhauling the 2nd floor. Unfortunately 2 people perished in the blaze. The ladder remained on scene for about 2 hours before returning to service.
Today the Ladder along with Truck 17 provided an arch as members of the Brookhaven Fire Co. Station 52 Delco, Pa laid to rest past Assistant Chief Robert Morgan. RIP Chief
Today we helped NPAA kick off their opening day with a small parade around town. Best of luck to all the teams!!
Yesterday just after 1300 hours, Ladder 65 was dispatched to Swarthmore College for a commercial building fire. Engine 14 arrived and had nothing showing from a 3 story dormitory. Ladder 65 arrived as the second due truck company. Crews located a book shelf that had caught fire and had been extinguished by the sprinkler system. There’s was minimal extension and the assignment was held to the first arriving companies.
Sprinklers save lives!!! Swarthmore College has been progressive with the installation of these life saving systems. They should be required in private homes but our state legislature has failed us.
The station remained busy the rest of the day today. Engine 65 handled 3 brush fires in the township throughout the day. We just want to remind everyone, with the drier weather approaching please use caution when disposing of combustible materials outside.
Today, the township fire companies, Nether Providence Police, and several mutual aid EMS units participated in the annual “Mock Crash” at the high school. We have been putting on this display for several years now and it has proved successful every year. The purpose of the mock crash is to show the students the dangers of getting behind the wheel while under the influence and the impacts it has on everyone involved. Thank you SHHS for allowing us to come over and put on the demonstration.
Ladder 65 is currently covering the City of Chester while they operate on a house fire on the east side of the City.
Please take a moment and watch this video. It could save you and your family’s life if a fire were to break out in your home.

Don’t believe a closed door can save your life in a fire? Neither did the people in this video!
Check out this eye-opening experiment from UL that shows the dramatic difference a door can make.

Here it is!! The new engine is complete and on the “blue” floor at Pierce. The committee is out at the factory for the next few days going over the truck to make sure everything has been completed and to test the functionality of all the components. We are hoping to have the the engine in station by April. It will have one Roto-Ray and it will be furnished at the dealer once it arrives in PA.
