Our public service announcement for today is; If you see live wires down on the road AND they are sparking, please do not drive over them. Even if wires are in the roadway and they seem to not be live, do not take the chance. Be careful if you are near the 300 Block of Township Line Road. Squad26 was dispatched for wires down in the roadway, sparking, with vehicles driving over them. #udfd #squad26 #iaff #local2493
We would like to congratulate Firefighter Ken Collins, his wife Jyl, and their family on the birth of their new child, Kevin Joseph Collins. Kevin was born today at 22 inches and a whopping 9lbs 10oz. Mom and baby are doing great and big sisters are even more excited.
Today, members of our local attended family day for the Philadelphia Fire Academy, Cadet Class 194. Along with the many of new Philadelphia Fire Cadets are eight of our very own cadets from the Upper Darby Fire Department. Upper Darby has been sending our newly hired firefighters to the Philadelphia Fire Academy since the early 90’s. The Philadelphia Fire Academy is one of the top fire academies in the country, where new cadets learn to be EMT’s, Ladder and Engine Company Operations in the Fire Department, how to use every tool needed to effectively fight a fire and save civilian and fellow firefighters lives. However, the greatest lesson learned in the academy is brotherhood and discipline. Great job to all the cadets of class 194. #PhiladelphiaFireDepartment #Local22 #CadetClass194 #UDFD #Local2493

If you or a loved one lives in the City of Chester, you NEED to be aware of this. ACT 47 coordinators are looking into closing one of their firehouses which would include eliminating 1 Battalion Chief, 2 Captains, and 20 Firefighters. This is a danger to the lives of the residents and the other first responders in the City of Chester. #WeSupportChesterFireL1400 #IAFF #Local2493 #iaff2493 #local1400 Please show support for the Chester City Firefighters.
