Our members along with the members of many other Delaware County Fire Companies had come together today for the dedication ceremony of the new Delaware County Fallen Firefighter & EMS Memorial. This memorial is located at Rose Tree Park. This memorial has been in discussions for the last 5-7 years and this year it has become a reality.

The members of our company would like to say "A Job Well Done' and "Thank You" to all the members of the memorial committee. They came together back in early spring and in just a few short months have completed their project of such a beautiful place for family members and friends to visit, and to know how much their loved one is missed and will never be forgotten by their brothers and sisters of the Fire & EMS services of Delaware County. 

 Our Fire Prevention team made their annual visit to the Southeast Delco Kindergarten Center for Fire Prevention week. After learning some fire safety tips, the children got the chance to "Stay Low and Go" in the Surrey Fire Safety house. As well as learning a little about the equipment that is carried on the fire apparatus and ambulance.

  We would like to thank the staff of the Kindergarten Center for their continued support and teamwork with this program, as well as the Collingdale Fire Company #1 for the use of their Surrey Fire Safety house again this year.

  Our members would like to thank the residents of Briarcliffe who came out and participated in our annual Fire Prevention Open House. All of the children were happy to learn some fire safety tips like Stop, Drop & Roll as well as talking to the firefighters about the equipment that we carry on the fire apparatus. The children were excited to get their turn to ride on a fire truck, as well as trying on the firefighter's boots, pants, coat and helmet. Parents were also delighted to see the smiles on their children's faces while trying on the firefighter's gear. Some members were also talking with parents about home safety practices as well as answering the many questions that some parents had for us.
