Media Fire Hook and Ladder #1 - Station 23

Dear Residents,

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the future provision of EMS services within our primary coverage area, the Media Fire Hook & Ladder Co. will delay conducting an EMS subscription drive for the 2026–2027 subscription year and will evaluate the timeframe once service is solidified with our primary areas (Nether Providence, Upper Providence, Rose Valley and Media Borough).

The department sincerely thanks all area residents for their generous support of our EMS services over the past years. Your continued support has been greatly appreciated.

“The members took a moment to reflect and remember the only two members who died in the line of duty by visiting their graves.”
