18 years and we still remember. We will never forget the lives lost, and the tragedy, but we will also never forget the heroes from that day, both in and out of uniform. We also take today to remember all the rescuers who have suffered from 9/11 related illness ever since.

Today two of our members visited Lambeau field. Only, they weren’t there to watch a football game. Our very own Tyler Uhrich participated in a Stair Climb at the football stadium. Every year Stair Climbs are held to represent the ultimate sacrifice made on September 11th, 2001, and every first responder that’s passed away from 9/11 related illness since. Tyler Uhrich climbed the equivalent to the 110 stories of the World Trade Center in full gear and SCBA. Good work Tyler!

Never forget

The Mechanicsburg Fire Department was dispatched at 0415 for a house fire on Glen Street in the borough. Chief 8 arrived on scene shortly after to find a fully involved structure. Within minutes of being on scene, the structure collapsed. Fire ground tactics switched from offensive to defensive, with emphasis on protecting the neighboring house. Fire had started to spread into the garage area of the neighboring house, which was quickly extinguished, and the house was evacuated by FD and PD. Crews worked on extinguishing hot spots and cleaning equipment until 1045. A big thank you to Lower Allen and Mount Holly Springs fire companies for transferring into the borough!
