Around 1430 hours today, township companies along with Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. and EMS were dispatched to the intersection of Providence Rd and Waterford Way for an accident with reported entrapment. Engine 65 arrived to find a two vehicle head on collision with one vehicle off the roadway and one confined in that vehicle. Crews from 65 and 14 went to work stabilizing the vehicle while the crew from 51 prepared for door and “B” post removal. The Patient was extricated within 10 minutes. Assistant 65 had the Providence Rd command.
Great job first responders!
VERY dangerous intersection! Thank God we have the best first responders in any town!
Scary! I hope everyone is ok. Good job, first responders. Not sure what happened in this case, but I stopped trying to make a left onto Providence Road from Waterford or Pleasant Hill shortly after I moved back here.
Now I know why I couldn't get to my house around 3 p.m.
This morning just before 0900 hours, township companies along with Woodlyn Volunteer Fire Company Delco Station 67 were dispatched to I476 NB @ mile marker 2.2 for a vehicle fire. Squrt 67 arrived to find an engine compartment involved and placed a line inservice. Engine 65 arrived shortly after and assisted with extinguishment. The fire was quickly placed under control and held to the units on scene.
Last night township companies along with the the 6th district duty engine (Upland Fire Company), were dispatched to the 800 block of Putnam BLVD for a dumpster fire. Engine 65 and Squad 57 quickly extinguished the small fire and units cleared the scene. Photos courtesy of Station 57.
Yesterday around 1600 hours, township companies were dispatched to the area of Plush Mill Road and Rogers Lane for an accident with one overturned. As Chief 65 marked up responding, Fireboard advised that there possibly was still one occupant inside the vehicle. Chief 65 arrived on scene to find a car vs a school bus and a pole with wires down. The occupant was able to self extricate prior to our arrival. Crews secured the hazards and assisted with patient care. This was the 4th run of the day for township companies.
People need to slow down and pay attention to their driving and nothing else.
I’m Hoping that all students and driver of the bus are ok?!?!?!
Last night for drill members brushed up their skills with one man ladder throws and utilizing the “high shoulder” method.

Tonight the 6th District will start the implementation of the “Duty Engine”. The duty engine will start as a trial and will between the hours of 1800-2200 for now. The duty engine will be staffed by a different company within the district from Sunday to Thursday evenings and will respond to all calls within the 6th district. With a significant decline in volunteers over the years, companies must work together to make sure everyone is safe.
It sucks that its come to this, but thank you for doing everything you can to keep your district safe
Is this career staff?
