Progress moves forward on the propane pad. The flashover sim has been moved to its new permanent spot along with the propane props. You will see we got rid of some of the props that were no longer in use and in bad condition. There is plenty work left on the pad to be completed but it’s already starting to look better.

East Lansdowne Fire Company as many of you know unfortunately had to shut their doors this year. The fire company going through the shutdown process had a lot of items to strip off trucks, remove and clean. Through this process the entire county has seen the newer engine go to Collingdale Fire Company - Station 33. The training center was very fortunate to receive the 1996 Pierce Saber. The truck has a 1500 GPM pump and a 750-gallon tank. This new addition to the site will help with being able to facilitate more courses as well as taking some work off of the 1990 Yeadon truck. We are grateful to receive this from East Lansdowne and happy that it can stay in the county. We will take good care of the truck as it lives its next life helping shape Delaware county firefighters.

The Emergency and Protective Services at Delaware County Technical Schools Services at Delaware County Technical Schools ran another successful school year and capped it off with the annual Day in the life. This year students got to invite their families to see some of their skills. This program is a huge start for young students to allow them to get certified and get experience before they leave school. Putting learning in the hands of high school students outside the classroom can be one of the most beneficial things in such a hands-on field. Great job to the students returning next year and best of luck to the graduating students.

Over the holiday weekend our FF1 course completed their final burn West Chester Fire Department Training Center. This training completes the students modular training and combined with the mod 4 test, allows them to pass FF1 course. The students have another few days for Proboard testing for national certification. This course is only the start for these students firefighting careers. We look forward to seeing all come back for more courses.
Great work to the spring 2026 FF1 Course!

"Home of the free, because of the brave."

Today, the Delaware County Emergency Services Training Center remembers the fallen military members who laid down their lives for our nation. We also carry in our hearts the memory of all those who dedicated their lives to protecting others, both at home and abroad.

Dedicated to service.
Committed to remembrance.

We are so glad to be able to work with Emergency and Protective Services at Delaware County Technical Schools through the last year. We will be continuing this partnership with them as their building is getting work done and helping the youth grow their skills.

Last night we had Morton-Rutledge Fire Company out using the burn pad to practice their car fire skills. This area will be soon demolished and be redone with newer props, pipping and safety features. This is being done in collaboration with Fire Safety Research Institute to help make the site better for the fire companies of Delaware county. Scully propane was also out with their representatives and safety officer. They will be lending a hand to make the area safe and upgrading current equipment.
We are excited to unveil the new training area later this year!

Busy day at the training center with the completion of two programs and the classrooms being booked today. Our Pumps 1 finished up with instructor sparks. The last day of truck operations 1 was using the rest of the site. Instructor Gallagher and his team led Roof cutting, searches and life like scenarios to finish out the day. Be on the look out for truck 2 in the fall!
Be safe and remember your training!
