Saturday night the Southside Companies remained busy handling multiple calls for service in both Demarest and Haworth. Multiple trees down and roadways remain closed in Demarest due to storm damage. Please stay clear of any down wires and do not drive around any barricades in the street.

The service to the house caught fire, the interior of the home was checked with no extension. Southside companies operated for under an hour before returning to service.

Just after 4pm the Squad Company was requested mutual aid into Norwood for a working house fire on Seventeenth Street. The Squad took their own hydrant in the rear of the house on the block behind. Four lines were stretched off the Squad through the backyard to assist with extinguishment. Members operated for just under four hours before returning back to the Borough. This marks the 1st working fire with the new squad since being placed in service. ๐Ÿ“ธ: Btfirephotos

This year the department participated in a fundraiser for County Road School and auctioned off a ride and a tour of the Fire House to one lucky student. On Thursday we picked up Andrew and his mother, got some pizza for lunch and during the tour he was able to ride along with the Chief for two calls, an activated fire alarm and an inside water leak. Thank you to County Road School for reaching out to us and we hope to see Andrew back with us in a couple years as a new member.
