The trucks are parked, the tables are emptied of their samples and examples, the hoses are rolled, and all the equipment is restored and ready for the next call.

We are experiencing one of our busiest years in a while- answering over 300 calls so far, but one thing doesn't change- our commitment to the safety of our community. Getting the message about preventing fires isn't easy. We have met over 450 school children who have learned about good and bad fires, "stop, drop & roll", and what firefighters wear to safely combat fires. We have partnered with our neighbors at other fire companies to promote fire safety in the home, using the 12th district fire safety trailer (over 220 people of all ages) and participating in Open Houses. It is a marathon week, but it is a labor of love.

Oh- just because it's Fire Prevention Week doesn't mean that the calls stop coming: eleven in the last seven days.

Thanks to our community for your support. Remember, you are helping us to help you!

I just wanted to take a moment to extend my thanks to the various agencies who assisted us during the Borough’s Independence Day festivities. While their efforts are mostly behind the scenes, they give their time to ensure that safety remains the top priority.
Thank you to the Tinicum Township Fire Company Station 48, Milmont Fire Co. 49, Holmes Fire Company Station 43 and the Boeing Fire Department for joining us for our Borough parade. A special thanks to our Auxiliary members for keeping their tradition alive and distributing the red, white and blue balloons that created a sea of color for the parade.

Thank you to the Prospect Park Fire Company, Tinicum Township Fire Company Station 48 and Eddystone Fire Company No. 1 for helping provide fire protection during the fireworks. Without their support, this event would not be possible.

Thank you to Delaware County Emergency Services 911 for providing staff and their mobile command post. Their team provided logistical support and were prepared to coordinate any emergency response, if needed.

Thank you to the Fire Police from all over Delaware County who worked with the Ridley Park Police Department to ensure safe travel for all who visited while also making sure emergency vehicle traffic could respond without delay.

Lastly, I want to thank the officers and members of the Ridley Park Fire Company for doing whatever was needed to make the day a success. From washing trucks, participating in the parade, selling hot dogs and soda to standing in the heat and humidity in full firefighting gear, their dedication to the Borough of Ridley Park is unrivaled.
