🚒🥫 Filling Emergency Vehicles to Help Fill Local Food Cupboards! 🥫🚓

Roslyn Fire Company was proud to partner with GIANT food stores, Abington Township Police Dept., PA, and Second Alarmer's Association and Rescue Squad of Montgomery County for today’s “Fill Emergency Vehicles” Food Drive!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by and donated non-perishable food, personal care items, and other essentials. Your generosity will directly support local food cupboards and help provide much-needed assistance to neighbors right here in our community.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up for one another when it matters most. ❤️

Thank you for helping us fill the vehicles and support our neighbors in need!

Last night, members of Roslyn Fire Company headed over to Fort Washington Fire Company No. 1 training grounds for “Rocket Fights”, an annual tradition that brings local fire companies together toward the end of each summer for a night of friendly competition, camaraderie, and plenty of fun.

For those unfamiliar with Rocket Fights, two fire companies face off from opposite ends of the course, each operating a hose line and directing their stream at a barrel suspended from an overhead cable. The goal is to use the force and accuracy of the hose stream to drive the object all the way to the opposing team’s side before they can push it back to yours. Think of it as a firefighter version of tug of war- just with hose lines and a lot more water! 🚒💦

It’s a fun competition, but it also puts hose-handling, nozzle control, teamwork, and accuracy to the test.

Thank you to Fort Washington Fire Company for continuing this tradition and having us out again this year. A special thank you also goes to Humpty's Dumplings for bringing their food truck out for everyone to enjoy!

Congratulations to Horsham Fire Company on taking home this year’s win! 🏆🚒

🔥🚒 A busy overnight for Roslyn Fire Company! 🚒🔥

Over the course of just a few hours, Roslyn Fire Company responded to two dwelling fires in Abington Township.

At 11:45 PM, Roslyn Fire Company was dispatched to the 600 block of Monroe Ave. in Abington for a reported dwelling fire. Arriving first on scene, crews from Engine 500 found a small fire in the basement and quickly extinguished it before it could spread further.

Also on the incident were Edge Hill Fire Company, Weldon Fire Company, and Abington Fire Company.

Then, at 3:47 AM, Roslyn Fire Company was dispatched to the 2900 block of Jefferson Ave. in Abington for another reported dwelling fire. While units were en route, Abington Township Police Dept., PA advised of heavy fire coming from the rear of the home.

Arriving first on scene, crews from Engine 500 stretched a handline and began an aggressive interior fire attack. Firefighters from Tower 500 conducted a primary search of the residence, while crews from Squad 500 established a positive water supply to Engine 500 and provided ground support by placing ladders around the structure.

Also on the second incident were Edge Hill Fire Company, Weldon Fire Company, Abington Fire Company, McKinley Fire Company, Jenkintown Volunteer Fire Department, and Glenside Fire Company who conducted interior operations, roof operations and extensive overhaul.

A sincere thank you to all of the fire companies on the assignment for their continued support and teamwork throughout the night. Incidents like these are a reminder of the strength of the mutual aid system and the importance of working together to protect our communities!

Fortunately, the occupants of the first home were able to evacuate safely before firefighters arrived, no one was home at the second residence, and no firefighters were injured during either incident.

Last night, Roslyn Fire Company members were back on the training ground, putting in the work required to stay ready for real-world emergencies.

Crews worked on wet line hose advancement, practicing how to move and control charged hose lines while operating as a team. Members also reviewed nozzle flow patterns and how different stream selections can be used depending on fire conditions and the task at hand.

The drill also gave newer pump operators the opportunity to practice supplying multiple hand lines at the same time, helping build confidence in managing water flow, pressure, and coordination between the engine and crews on the line.

Training then shifted to firefighter rescue skills, where members practiced proper techniques for dragging and removing a downed firefighter. It is a physically demanding skill, but one that is critical when a firefighter needs help.

Every drill night is another opportunity to improve, work together, and prepare for the moments when our community — or one of our own — may be counting on us.

Roslyn Fire Company is 100% volunteer, and our members continue to dedicate their time to training, teamwork, and service.

Interested in getting involved? Stop by the firehouse on Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM to learn more.

Great work by all who attended.
