🚒🇺🇸 A busy Memorial Day Weekend for your Delanco Fire Company 🇺🇸🚒
♦️ Saturday, Quint 1115 and Fire Police 1118 responded along with other area units to a reported structure fire at the Arbor Green Condos in Edgewater Park. Thankfully, the fire was unfounded and units were recalled while en route. 🔥🚫
ㅤ
♦️ Sunday morning, Quint 1115 and other area units responded to a reported building fire in the unit block of Lafayette Street in Riverside. Thankfully, this incident was also unfounded and was caused by a plastic bag melted on a radiator creating a haze. 🌫️
ㅤ
♦️ Later Sunday morning, Quint 1115 and Deputy 1101 responded to a church in the 300 block of Union Avenue for a reported gas odor. Crews identified the source, secured the gas piping, and placed it out of service for repairs. ⛪🛠️

♦️ Your Delanco Fire Company was also proud to participate in Delanco’s Memorial Day Parade. 🇺🇸 Our command vehicles led the line, followed by Antique 1953 Seagrave Engine 1111, Brush 1116, Engine 1112, Quint 1115 and Fire Police 1118. It was great seeing so many familiar faces out supporting the parade and remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice. ❤️🤍💙

♦️ Yesterday afternoon on Memorial Day, Engine 1112 and Fire Police 1118 responded to The Crossings for an alarm activation. Crews investigated and cleared without incident. 🚨

♦️ Then around 8 PM last night, Quint 1115 and Fire Police 1118 responded to a building fire on South Pavilion Avenue in Riverside. Quint 1115 operated its aerial ladder at the rear of the building, supplied with water by Engine 1224 (Beverly), while FP 1118 handled traffic control at Lafayette & Pavilion and Scott & Bridgeboro. Units cleared around 10 PM after the fire was placed under control, with no injuries reported. 🚒💦 (Photos courtesy of Fire Department Photography)

♦️ And around 11 PM last night, because sleep is for the weary 😅, Deputy 1101 and Engine 1112 responded to a business on Creek Road for an alarm system activation. Crews located a broken sprinkler pipe and secured the system until repairs could be made. 💧🔧
