On June 21st, Flourtown Fire Co. and their guests “Hit the Links” and had a day of fun, food, and prizes as they tested their skill against fellow firefighter/golfers.
After an early breakfast and the rules of the day were announced, a shotgun start @8:30am kicked-off the round of “better ball” golf, and 23 golfers embarked on a day of fun!
At the conclusion of the round, the Wyndmoor Hose Co. foursome had the lowest total score, winning the bragging rights for the day. However, there is always next time!
Jim Sarsfield, from the Wyndmoor Hose Company won a gift basket courtesy of the O’Towne Tavern for the “Longest Drive”.
Rob Brzezinski, from the Flourtown Fire Company won a Taylor-Made golf bag for getting “Closest to the Hole”.
Following lunch, there was a lottery for various prizes that included signed sports memorabilia from the Philadelphia Flyers, 76ers, and Phillies. Cuba Libre donated a $100 gift card for their restaurant, and there were various other prizes that were won as well.

Congress created the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to lead a nationwide effort to honor America’s fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the non-profit Foundation has developed and expanded programs that fulfill that mandate. Their mission is to honor and remember America’s fallen fire heroes and to provide resources to assist their survivors in rebuilding their lives.
Each October, the Foundation sponsors the official national tribute to all firefighters who died in the line of duty during the previous year. Thousands attend the weekend activities held at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The Weekend features special programs for survivors and coworkers along with moving public ceremonies.
The Memorial Weekend will be held October 1 – 3, 2010.

On Saturday, April 3rd members of the Flourtown Fire Company took on a project to bring down a piece of our history from atop the old firehouse.
The “old bell”, was used to alert the firefights of a fire alarm before it was replaced by the mechanical siren that we use today.
We plan to refurbish the bell, and put it on display as it is a piece of our heritage.
