On National Photography Day, we would like to recognize the man with the magic camera that makes us all look good on social media! Bob Kelly captures the heart of our department and the soul of the community. His photos have won awards and hang all over our station. He’s also a boss on the grill during the Township Carnival and most importantly, an awesome dad! Thank you for everything you do, Bob Kelly

What NOT to do: While operating at the fire on Barry Ave on Sunday, someone ran over our supply line. Fire hose, while very durable, is NOT meant to hold the weight of a car. It is made of rubber with aluminum connections between sections. It can be easily cut by the metal edges under a car. Supply line connects a fire truck to a water source; either a hydrant or another truck. On the far other end of this set up is someone’s son or daughter, someone’s mother or father, and OUR brother or sister! This decision could have taken away their line of defense against the flames. This could have been a catastrophic event for our brothers on the other end Sunday evening. Luckily it was not. This hose now has to be taken out of service and professionally inspected for damages. Please don’t do this!

On Sunday, August 16, 2026 at approximately 5:45pm, the Upper Gwynedd Fire Department was dispatched to the area of Bradford Ln and Barry Ave for smoke in the area. Prior to units responding, the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety received multiple calls for a house on fire on the 100blk of Barry Ave.
Multiple units from the UGFD and surrounding agencies quickly responded to the incident and brought the fire under control within 15 minutes from units arriving on scene. The swift work from intial companies were able to prevent the fire from causing damage to neighboring homes.

This incident is currently under investigation by the Upper Gwynedd Township Fire Marshal’s Office.

Brotherhood: Shared Fellowship. A strong sense of unity, trust, and care between people.

On Saturday, we met in the spirit of brotherhood to remember our friend and brother, Jeff Tomczak. Station 80 gathered with 177th Fighter Wing, NJANG, the unit that Jeff served with, for a friendly game of softball in his memory. A high scoring game filled with laughs brought forth a new tradition to remember our friend and colleague by.

A huge thank you to Nor-Gwyn Baseball and Softball Assn for allowing us to use the field Saturday morning!

As we brace for what is forecasted to be another storm, we want to remind you to be safe and stay away from flood waters. 6 inches of moving water can sweep you off your feet and 2 feet can carry most passenger vehicles. Turn around! Don’t drown!
